Of This...

CATEGORY

life

Views: 101

a wave sent ...like a kiss

a bridge across 

...this rift

in moments, brought to 

points of interest

which combine that 

of what reason there is...

to exist.

 

and of this... to be a true gift, 

 

to life, to be lived with purpose, 

 

beyond the drift of quiet summer afternoons,

beyond the tides, which come and go

 

leaving behind ...driftwood,

of dreams...

 

beyond our means 

 

and of what things, too unkind... 

 

miscarriage of truth, honor, justice... 

 

in the continuum of our interactions 

 

characterized by...

stories, told to children being put to bed...

 

of lives led, 

 

or is it of lies fed 

 

lest discovery

of a different case file 

 

reveal ...the cruelty 

 

behind the smile, stories 

you may not bother to refute,

 

to reconcile, by other means

achieved, perhaps by trickery, 

 

planting seeds of doubt... 

misdirection, perhaps 

 

feeding the illusion 

of nobility, 

 

as if, 

its cost... erased,

 

in the profusion

of lives lost

 

in the war crazed... tap dance of confusion

while those whose lives 

 

fulfilling just a little everyday

more than ...just enough to get by,

 

in times of plenty to bear fruit... 

 

even though they may sometimes

reveal more, an ugly truth... 

 

about this aperture in time 

the lens through which

 

we express our version 

of the love

 

...of this, reality/vitality/morality

as we extend/explore/defend...

 

which ends which suit our purposes

we observe/preserve/chosen to serve

 

in=with reliance/compliance/defiance 

 

in such manner we may approve, 

in reflecting those versions 

 

of our evolving truth sets 

we use like fine china

 

our mindset lost/found

 

among others 

of like...  

 

kind
