Sonnet II: Man

An original poem.


-------------

i saw him sitting at the foot of a

great mountain. his eyes were greater than snow-

capped peaks of tibet. his few words play

with truth with a gentle fingering. no

other voice was necessary. a sun

had risen over his house. was it there

tomorrow? will it be there in someone's

dream? i don't know of any places where

he could ask that but here. yet he questioned

my existence, and said he was also

in a dream. he arose to find sadness

in his special hiding place. will it grow

uncovered? then he asked me what madness

i possessed, that i could hear imprisoned.

Woah!

Another WINNER!

OK, you've got me convinced, Kurt. I am instantly adding you to my shortlist of favourite poets in my BLOG (whatever a "blog" is) in my AD. You are indeed a very gifted poet and sonneteer.

Tell me, have you read Percy Bysshe Shelley's The Defence of Poetry (1821). It's heavy!

Take care,

Sincerely yours,

Richard Vallance,
AD

My yes this excellant expressionism in poetry...to be lost in thought, or mayhaps a dream with the chasm of chaoticness but a step away...mmm love this one!

Like seeing beyond the horizon of our usual thoughts, an excellent write beautifully expressed!
Reviewed by Susan de Vegter 8/23/2003
Voices from Tibet or some great plain of knowledge way beyond mans....I've been there often. It is a place of serenity and truth and there is harmony with chaos only a prism away.

I love the openness for thought here.
