The city skies with lines across
work upheavals, signs of the cross
answer to my question in the skies
question begins in the mind...so do lies

moods apt, questions flow with winds
wagged tails, feathers flared
known to flights, when pilots dared
answers cross oceans...does someone care?

answer to each question in the mind
the answer is the self in its find;
minds take flight across named nations
answer to guardians at way stations.

written poems in the air
why wait for paper sheet dispair
write of the city which is me
tell the world that life is free.

Martin~

good to read you this morning....I enjoyed this....as always....


Lauren~

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

Sy,

this one is inspired by a play called the Education of a Poet...the message here is that we have all the answers in our minds

I really enjoyed this, Martin, and I'm glad you told us what the message was, because otherwise, I would have been up all night trying to figure it out...I felt like I was so close to knowing and yet it kept evading me.  I posted a poem that was not exactly easy to figure out either, a couple of days ago...it was called "Almost Remembered" and I noticed that I didn't get many replies on it.
I think people are embarassed to say that they don't understand something...but it happens often in poetry because the writer understands perfectly what he/she means...but its not always obvious to the reader without clues.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
