Within nature’s vast reflection
Discerning eyes find [too much of]
modern civilization morally crippled:
Humanity becoming as
fruitless trees,
spiritually devolved,
corrupt-artists pandering,
wickedness as head-less drums,
reed-less wind instruments (players blowing air)
string-less guitars (players strumming air)
melodies deprived of strength or beauty,
the masses given to idols and intrigues,
skewed shafts of light
lingering in
half-cocked doors
waiting for those other
more weighty personalities
to open up trending portals, so
ambition may rise spirited and coruscating
in the day-to-day brawl to be noteworthy.
All this so the urgently self-centered
can call into question,
or look down upon rivalry
as damaging to personal endeavor….
.
BREATHE LISTEN
In tuneful conception,
Wisdom sings sweet melodies
on the winds of nature’s reflections…
.
It is here, the poet seer
sees humanities brief lives as
leaves swirling and dancing on a
soughing northern wind.
Original (ESSENCE)
at first
alive
visible
germane
concupiscent,
a time to reach for
all one’s dreams, but then,
as time passes, all settling into
some shadowed place, forgotten,
misplaced, only to be
picked up (at
some point in time)
by a budding new clerisy
as arcane curiosities of past
artistic or literary endowment. At
first eagerly sought-after and ingested,
how many end up crushed in irreverent fingers,
and disposed of as unfashionable, or worse, unneeded,
and swept under the carpets of creative indifference?

BREATHE LISTEN
In creation’s profoundness
a wise seeker finds ONE TRUTH
motioning for wholeness with holiness,
and in sweet strains hears the tender voice
of nature’s encouragement proclaiming: ‘Listen to
the still voice in the forming storm - there is far more
Wisdom available than you could ever imagine’…
