It is dark, now, but I don’t mind Feeling my way into and beyond Sound motifs are beautiful to perceive I’ve known rivers of poise But none presently as such Dreams sometimes hang to dry Within a golden hued sunset Screaming banzai Fitting so good, so damn clear The label on my dress reads Care Whistle over me, time I have seized Intention, my hunger appeases Gravitating novel sacrifice Maybe, I am that new mirror image Oh, if only they’d believe their real enemy Speak child, fruit of flowers, plant seeds Loss of beauty sleeps in dark towers Small wonder my youngster gathers swords Against a still born will which is human Partly bad, partly good Trading consciousness for inner challenge Was that intended?Where is my script? Where is dessert, no heavy cream to whip? Sensing failure & limitations Yet, owning revenue & dying a millionaire Opens up and I chase the world Gathering infinite tiny crumbs Cinnamic acid yields lemon balm I’m not afraid of poverty, Winter’s coals, afford me heat I’ll strive always to survive til morning But, loss of sight could be more costly It isn’t about what treasure I pluck from the sea But, what treasure I can furnish & leave It is dark, now, but I don’t mind Feeling my way into and beyond |

You bring me to a place of wondering... A good place, though. I like this. Always, Alyssa Poems are made by fools like me, |

"It isn’t about what treasure I pluck from the sea But, what treasure I can furnish & leave" Lee J: You are so enlightened and philosophical. Enjoyed this one. JL She said: ”You look cute in the dark.” |

I’ve known rivers of poise But none presently as such Dreams sometimes hang to dry Within a golden hued sunset Screaming banzai I almost find me within your words. *S* And even if I don't... I always find an excellent read! *S* |
