Observation - 2017

OBSERVATION – 2017 Far from Monet’s garden with ruptured thought of plain air the futurist philosophers have tasted the poison mushroom and rushed to Bethlehem As though mere noise will save the day They wave to heaven with crazy gyrations And the Kingdom seems lost in hypocrisy Will the daisies bloom be loved once again The promise be fulfilled? - Some say yes at hope’s better end - Or does the soul look out in fear and distrust this split-in-two world? Dave Austin

I love "beautiful" poems and then "beautiful poems with rich deep substance" icing on the cake. Keep a steady faith - the world has never been a "safe" place.
