Sagacious words
Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary. ~ Khalil Gibran

Awakening
The intricacies of life confound
And confuse in equal measure,
The most straightforward of all
Are the most blessed, yet
In times of reflection and in turmoil-
The mind expands and bends.

Subliminal
The covers of time on live beings are seamless,
For the lines of chalked vision present no defects,
From the shimmering of all shown light, regardless
Of the depths within which arise all known effects,
We must stand still and observe the silent derision
And watch supersonic beings who help us to delve
into the minuscule dimensions of keyhole visions.
As power is reduced to every superficial fantasy,
Few dust off the cobwebs that routines of division
Help duly weave for all obedience and conformity.
As the necessity of balance and continuity flows-
Yet such is the transparency of the life we know;
That the eyes are bound by the heart in every way
And every truth is known through subliminal play.

Earth Waters
Ever onwards move the relentless waters of life,
Not stopping for rocks or logs through surges of strife.
As always and with ease, agitating precious beliefs
And sometimes churning out gnawing griefs,
These ripples and patterns of fluid rhythm,
Silently help to create huge bubbles in time.
But just as easily can form every oasis of calm
As within the frenzied whirlpools of pain and harm-
Do our powerful Earth waters constantly flow.
In currents of strength, are quenched the needs and hurts,
Of people from vast mountains, forests, plains and deserts;
Of all our humanity buried and borne on a trembling thirst
Not stopping for rocks or logs through surges of strife.
As always and with ease, agitating precious beliefs
And sometimes churning out gnawing griefs,
These ripples and patterns of fluid rhythm,
Silently help to create huge bubbles in time.
But just as easily can form every oasis of calm
As within the frenzied whirlpools of pain and harm-
Do our powerful Earth waters constantly flow.
In currents of strength, are quenched the needs and hurts,
Of people from vast mountains, forests, plains and deserts;
Of all our humanity buried and borne on a trembling thirst
The fluidity of our nature makes us malleable forms,
Powerful enough to create and resist all kinds of storms.

Blazing
The realities of the life fight,
Highlight specifically the nature of time-
The lack of focus sometimes makes it all blurry,
The deceptive ticks of the clock melt into years-
As everyday life rejects and rejuvenates fickle ideals-
Through the sheer horror of pain
And the struggles of the spirit,
Small signs of redemption does the path give,
As the cold heart is constantly warmed,
By the sun blazing defiance of anger.

Pattern
Never deny in cowardice the unsated stomach of a starved beast-
The poise of rage determines the pace of all poetic and pious rapture-
Grow music by the sadness of the deranged and the silence of the tame,
The intricacies of time do allow sometimes, for the worship of shallow play,
As greed gives to fear and lets it bow down to the insecurities of the soul
And begins the harshest of a winter's lifelong famine from which the feral feed-
Grieve it, through ruthless and indiscriminate tragedies- as a visceral preparation
For a mind altering, personality changing, character defining, pattern of infinity.

Worldly
To stand and argue for a cause-
Which ignores half of the picture,
To be barely able to contain malice-
This is the exposure of an arrogant disdain,
And it neutralises every argument.
There is a difference between anger and conceit-
The latter is an inherent contempt.
It is possible to be angry without being repugnant,
It is not possible to be repugnant without hatred.
And hatred is a disease which suffocates the world.
