i wonder,
sometimes
about my unkempt hair
i wonder
stumbling
over my large feet
imagining,
them slapping against
sidewalks.
who talk about
marble being still,
over level plains
adorned with galleries
scarcely discernible but
proceeding in slanting
directions
like a metaphysical
supreme authority
connected with
matters of this sort
and how steps play and rise
to impeceble heights…
listening and
finding myself
measuring stride as
i walk....
thinking about precious
stones
of some kind of liberal art
that holds no political agenda close

and
their origin of power,
expression...
looking up,
i  see golden globes
lighting
this level space…
always burning, these
beautiful sentries…
lining up like endless
alphabets...
marking liquid source herbs...
depicted like
live specimens of illumination
perhaps to us,
terrestial
however,
knowing their celestial rivers
& how
they cleverly
paint marvelous
interior resemblances
these
garnets of forces,
dignity,
legistalors
languages,
not yet known...
these forces
are well pleased
to the point of
inhabiting
a philosophical fellowship,
rich with a full
purse of self love
willing with ambition
to rise
higher toward all…
mutually in same age

these  
beautiful cells
sorting years
that different kinds of winds bring
in virtues
among us…
telling us
the manner of their carpentry
reading to us
about fields & fields
which practice good feelings
well read in the mind of God…
letting go of desires, wants

i feel so much wisdom
yet unlearned
like an ongoing therapeutic potential
blooming
there are
garmets of willingness,
of successive
voices in workshops of the human heart
a cleanliness without wrinkle
globular togas
of circumstace
& necessity
designed by armories
of rings…
rings in every street
of stored hours,
collecting each splendid
painting…
wings of halls
& seasons marked off
great deeds
of intellect,
lasting and forever aspired
a solar city of thoughts
ascribing into one sense
praising plato,
socrates,
and all those
yet to come
i realize,
the mistress of these arts
the wisdom & love,
fighting courageously to alighn…
fastening ends,
into threads
of cloth
making scent
more profound…
my body shakes
as if a pleasant
bath has soaked my mind,
heaving my soul
to a higher definition

savoring a clemency
of powerful things
poured forth by a true
oracles of the world
knowing in deficiency,
arises a law, unspoken

it is then,
I no longer fret
of my unkempt hair
or of my large feet, stumbling
now,
hear the beat
of sidewalks
feel their pulse,
I
feel the sun
of globes,
lighting my way
releasing
my journeyed place
under the equator,
on land and sea
a public domain,
mountain, rain, wind...
potency, circumference
becomes a palace of language
that floats
me
into a picture of
similar space
extending the outer sides
of what we have not yet
reached...
but someday will

I am happy for this walk....

Have you ever written a poem that wasn't worthwhile? If you did, I haven't read it....and would like to, just to know there's a chink in your armor!
