wind holds its breath
offering atonement
in it’s even gaze
where delicate perfection stood
~and lives

sanity picked the lock
like night at play
interleaving metaphors of comatose
& Egyptian antiquity

there we are!

wandering halls of wildlife
Micro-climatic hollowed grounds
wiretaps
accessible
insight plausible with
uplifted wrists
anchoring the psyche

later
admitting
distribution
of birth control with
age of reason
plays show & tell

mythology snake-like
for inventors with contrary ways
seams a credibility to indulge
merely suspicion of theories
except for internal evidence
of the human eye
soaring the mournful cries
of secret codes that are known

society fears what is,
for the sake of  tradition
banning all that is included
with a force called worldly rule
something the vast majority toasts to
for the egotistical interest of an insignificant
minority

can such things be?

We have seen the common opportunist
Philistine illusions dipping their hands
In still waters

of open accounts
absurd mosaics
fighting all that is cruel
misplacing a note in a song

perhaps on purpose?

that shall rhyme with the last word
in liquid skies where God’s wave flags
where profits are poets
and poets are better paid workers
tracing wings that they might someday own

who treat the masses
with rice krispies of gold
choosing the company of will
without being aware of the cause
standing on both sides of the door frame
where a conclusion suggests itself
oppressed but not withering

we wear hard headed towns

as…
there will always be the matrix of question
drafting a higher phase
re-cast by molecules of intended meanings
feel it
touch it
be it
step out into the soul

waiting for the appropriate
translator
the piano players in long
sky vessels
to whom a human heart belongs
the hearers who plant small seeds
where a ladder is built for feet

Yes, they can and are...our political environment proves it is very much so, but how to change it?

A well done poem, as is usual for you, LeeJ

LeeJ,
who treat the masses
with rice krispies of gold
choosing the company of will
without being aware of the cause
standing on both sides of the door frame
where a conclusion suggests itself
oppressed but not withering

Too true, Good morning sweet.

What an amazing mastery of vocabulary you have.  I was just in awe of the way you have your way with words...and in turn your words just seem to have their way with me!  Beautiful write!

I've got to highlight this as well and also agree that you do indeed have a magic pen.
