I wash my face in nostalgia Take my place in line With a diametric few Stars in the heavens Some in narcissistic minds Falling rapidly This day our Lord has prepared Accustomed rhetoric Programmed behavior Acceptance Patience Winding road to resolution Ways of providence Never crystal clear Endearing Enduring Wayward thoughts Never meant to comprehend Second chance at reason Comes with a lofty price No longer seeking answers Simple peace shall do For some I am a mirror Reflections of reality Unfolding pages Plastic minds Hearts of fragile glass My whiteness Grows ever beige Chameleon hues at times Art Must be defended Savored Dissected carefully Word by soulful word Framed by measured care A poets bleeding prose Eyes closed Open mind Gemstone lines magnified You can’t stop the flow Merely absorb it Seeds of life Suppressed Endings are beginnings My belly full Still I hunger Seeking deepest truth © Bill Grimes Jr. 2009

This poem is amazing Bill. There is so much meaning in every single word. "Plastic minds" speaks volumes by its brief description. "My belly full, still I hunger." Your work will impact many, many, people as you continue to write. (just so you know, I rarely repeat words for empasis and hardly ever write the word "very" but this work is very, very good.)

Hello Bill,

Great style and impact. My "rhema" line is "Endings are beginnings" and mirrors often tell us when to begin again.
