Mists of war so intimate Like comrades come and go Of carnages and loneliness Who speaks the mind of soul? Eyes of fundamentalists Assembling ideological skills In human situations Masked by control Of hallucinating miseries One’s that I adore Allow me my deformity The bard of lowest depths The very human side of me Which rarely wins or triumphs I’ll past the cultivating elements To all losses in life’s time Saving all the textures The dwelling places mine I am this earthly mud and dirt Dusting off the notebook Of self annihilation Randomly coercing workbook By history and forces of nature Sometimes a night watch, helpful An inconsistent human With glimpses of redemption A snob, nailing closed, my very own coffin While dark forces give permission Toasting thumbs up & tied behind their backs With photogenic wisecracks Awakening to my personal life And all that lies beyond I’ve come into a time Where dangers do no harm I am a calculated menace A steady playing briefness Of what lies beyond our reach Life’s personal, soul to teach I stumble, crushing gentleness Compassion and decency Taking on a new face Of a calculated dream Ruthless will, turns grief to balm A little more powerful A little more humble A little more insightful Walking straight into the void Ahhhhh yes, Mists of war so intimate Like comrades come and go Of carnages and loneliness Who speaks the mind of soul~ |

You know, Lee, the first two lines of each stanza make up another poem in and of itself... an intrinsic look at humanity and its ways... Well done! |

Fantastic write - yes, that's it - "fantastic". Perhaps the will, the "ruthless" will is the true essence of our being that joins and keeps alive body, soul/mind. |

“Ruthless will, turns grief to balm A little more powerful A little more humble A little more insightful Walking straight into the void Ahhhhh yes, Mists of war so intimate Like comrades come and go Of carnages and loneliness Who speaks the mind of soul~” ........... Ahhhhh yes! You have such insight into humanity, and the almost placid way we all are at times conjoined in perceptions and misconceptions of what we truly should be concerned about. I thank you for the reminder. And, for your philosophy class 101. So enjoyed this read. JL |
