...Sought To Know...

 

 

Sought To Know

 

Inner journey defending these footprints

upon a life of yields;

Who became imprisoned

 from the bread offering nurtured shields?

Walking inside briared meadows,

the burr blossoms with pliant pride;

Barbed within a mind of portentous perceptions,

seeking to silently hide…

Unwilling to seed the fortress;

 the thorns of anguish fall to stones;

Broken by destructions gavel

the path of darkness has now been sown...

The vile cape of deception

forged by heathens failing to see;

Inhalation of degradation

the falsity of prisons plead...

Sought to know of beauty;

these days grow within a fortress hall;

Where no windows are vectored

before the blight of dawning calls…

"...the thorns of anguish..." should apply to any vacillating butterfly which, for the love of it, will go there...
Bittersweet!
