Promise
by Henry Burt Stevens
12/22/2003

Any more it doesn't matter
the stars will arc forever
while this random
chemical development
I pinch and pull
will blink and disappear.

Redemption?
For What?-Nothing happened.
An illusion, narcissent
folded inward till
it equals minus zero

I pick my teeth with
a fractured sliver
of dinosaur leg bone
and spit a couple hundred million years
against the rage of wind
while waiting till the sun cools down
and the eternity of night that follows.

You say you'll wait for the new dawn?

Deeply compelling, Henry; and deserving of more than one read. Thank you. Love and peace.

From the commanding tower of imagination intuition meets knowledge,
and "Promise" is conceived in the boiling pot of understanding to be
poetized with words dictated by the lips of a wise soul to etch a message of wisdom on the doors of the minds of humankind through its
philosophical poetic grandiose.

A STRIKING THOUGHTS AND ENJOYABLE SAGE READING.

A MASTERPIECE of the highest quality, Henry.

It was felt in its totality by my "I"; soul, mind, flesh and Me. At one time, not so long ago, I wouldn't have understood or cared what you meant to say, but, in my now, I see this as an unparalled truth, and you've penned it in such a way as to delight and amaze me with your sense of mind and intuition.

Thank you for this banquet of thought, Henry B. Stevens.

Your vent is marvelous, especially "I pick my teeth with a fractured sliver
of dinosaur leg bone'and spit a couple hundred million years
against the rage of wind." This is superb imagery from a superb poet.
