SUCH RIVER OF TRUTH

Folder: 
JOURNAL #34

the satirist and the saint

words I love to write

you so colorfully paint

oh such an utterly divine

creature indeed

can be

that sage of letters

the writer

as he rarely loses his

favorite place

upon many a life's

even most difficult page

dully shaped

yet

from his clever clutches

it still will likely escape

you

that being

the drift

ah

but if he could

he would

give you

every warm intention

a heart and mind could

possess

and let them all sleep

at the intellect's feet

always

sounds almost selfish

to confess

in the elaboration

of self

it is upon a fogged bank

of vague understanding

we each come to fish

'Such River Of Truth'

it matters not

whether we use our own pole

or that of another

wiser

fisherman

the most important aspect

is that of the actual fishing done.......................
