THE GIFT OF CLARITY

Folder: 
JOURNAL #14

prying eyes further open the window

yet expectation blocks their view

regardless of life's remiss demeanor

the spirit still somehow shimmers through

expedient is the decency on which we return

the hope of deeper emotions' importance

you can not imagine the horror that such

presumed petty ponder ensues

as life resumes

her charitable role as victim of circumstance

who needs murder here

it serves no obvious use

the mind lives on

mystical are the markings of one's intent

on what to do

whether ye should be a wall flower

a go getter

or a methodical hell raiser

whose lost his glue

creating one's own back bone

requires much for thought minus any real

necessity

nor ruse

for brimming beyond this violent bed of life

lays an untouched light

like no other envisioned hue

so if we choose to look with what we touch

and touch with what we look

we will truly see what lies out of reach

and patiently waits

for us in lieu of such a currently shackled

existence

the peace found in the entirety  of all

knowledge

an enlightened form of living

stands to be called upon

but only when death allows each of us

to be excused...................
