Futile Intentions Crawl Naked

Futile intentions crawl naked across the lawn.

Words well mended going, going gone.

Lamentations crash hard like a falling rain.

Hearts remain suspended; subject to change.

Naysayers� cumulative laughter gathers at the pauper�s grave.

Garments sewn from truth now lie rent on principles once gave.

Demagogues rule from haughty rhetoric�s gilded throne.

Words expire as futile intentions crawl naked and alone.

J. Allen Wilson � 2007

some sort of wrought shakespearean sonnet-parable; such verbosity and lilting word wizardry. .. i really like the depth of scope in your works!

This is an aspect of the living that I believe happens all too frequently. Your words make my vision alive. This scares me sometimes. You are the master.

Love,
