Although a little shy, hunger pressed me ahead favorably
A natural transition, though some might consider, “what if’s”?
Whose signature it is, to take down transcripts
Of each day that continues to orchestrate interest

The eye of daylight grows older still
While I sip on a glass of warming good will
Memory hesitates for a moment, with a sigh
Must have been that long grain white rice?

Took near a full turn to digest what it seems
There was something long after, yet always undreamed
Don’t be so surprised, all wealth lives in the earth
I’m still patching cracks in a worldly ceiling
Doesn’t everyone, furnish their right hand?
Pacing to and fro, an innocent voice, knowing sight
Like neighbors welcoming you home on Christmas night

Outside the spouting is clogged with leaves
The worlds a little poorer it seems
Images look right into sensations, we think they cause
The Gods look more imperfectly into my mirror and draw
They say there is nothing hidden and refreshments are served
Where you first in line?

It seems nature provides some scope of magic
Resembling the hard work of a natural law
Determining each chain of some full figured event
Intimately waxing the brows of each soul

I think sometimes, they’re lost some to…the God’s
If I see the Spirit, does that means it breathes in my soul?
I’m not so sure when time collapsed?
But it drinks me like a revolutionary

Widespread beliefs without a mirror of fact
Leads my perception towards the spell of enchantments
Where the old sprites tell stories and dance
Spinning myths that cleave close to human souls

Plump plumage entwines an imperfect cup
Into a feverish bold new love
I’m offered a bedazzling metamorphosis
Scarf of equal standing near to take purpose

Fragrance lives on the check bone of wheels
Box office prophets plotting every new detail
I can’t help but wonder if they’re equally free
Or are they born into some state of affairs quit holy
Sometimes the smallest note becomes the richest harmony

So don’t tease or scorn what to you seems homely
In all due respect to those past, who introduced me
My mind leaps with food of listening curiosity
To the daylight hours and the night’s sweet perfume
I don’t mind being the son of a peasant in a school room
as the sycamore trees gather in the endless hills
or the sun falls off to a blueberry sky
Calling the air, daughter of virtue, you see
All things are like a language itself, including humans
Is there some room for me there in your mind?

An intriguing write, so rich in images. You take the reader into your thoughts.

I especially loved:

Widespread beliefs without a mirror of fact
Leads my perception towards the spell of enchantments
Where the old sprites tell stories and dance
Spinning myths that cleave close to human souls


Love and Light. Margherita

For me, it all comes back to that last line. *S* It's where I arrive no matter where my thoughts wander. *S*

I like this very much, Lee... you give us much to think about... and a lovely gifting it is. *S*
