Chasm

Curled under my covers
Hiding the world from my senses
Angel’s comfort beyond my grasp
Seeking refuge
Minding darkness

Magical Realism

Beliefs are our compass, bringing to form
A calm, stable day or the eye of a storm
Choices are given each day in this life
To service the good or instigate strife
Oh, we're a mighty and powerful force
As the universe rises ... our ultimate source
We won't get away from this eminent sleuth
Who knows what we want; only, gives us the truth
Oh, what a magical, intricate day
But I'm tired, and honestly, don't want to play
So go on, conspire to give me my due
You'll find me today, on a walk, at the zoo

Fly High

Delightful twinkling
Nestled in the midnight sky
Lift our conscious thoughts

Saving Grace

SAVING GRACE

In the middle of the universe, I stand
Where it all revolves around man
Selling and consuming disastrous blends 
Burning the candle at both ends 
Neglecting duty, overriding beauty
This story of the ages, never told by sages
Who lived in the bell jar, with the fat cats in the big car
Where small minds, busied and blind 
Lost the human race
NO ONE’S SAVING GRACE!

2.4.15:  J. Polatnick
Submission:  In the Middle of the Universe, I stand

Out of Step

How does one remain engaged with life, so incomplete
Gaping holes in mind and heart, will have you take a seat
From there, you're left to fence the goings on throughout the day
Observing in third person, what you do and feel and say

Exhausted, you will hide and find a place to rest your head
Remains whirl round inside, while lying still upon your bed
Inevitably moving, subjects bring you to comply
To live, out in a world so lacking, you could wish to die

TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE, OR TELL ME YOU KNOW SHE GOES ON!
TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER I WILL RAIL THAT IT WAS WRONG!
EVEN IF IT'S TRUE AND YOU KNOW BEST WHAT'S MEANT TO BE!
I'LL TELL YOU WE LOST BEAUTY HERE THAT WE DESERVED TO SEE!

Madness stills and mundane forces push you to advance
So off you go to follow in this unfamiliar dance
And as the world now plays the saddest tune you've ever heard
You realize you're listening and hearing all the words

Ethereal Explorer

Existential minions
Or sparks within the Field
Both valuable opinions
Only, one transcends the shield

Sartre's vista seems oppressive
Current science liberates
Eclipsing yesterday's perspective
Focus now on quantum gaits

Align yourself without excuse
Explore within the knowledge
Trust conclusions you deduce
Findings show nothing is solid

Tap within and feel your essence
Touch upon inherent truths
On our way to feel the presence
In these vast and fractal proofs

Justin Bordner

Who is this Justin Bordner
Who reads between the lines
He’s welcome in my corner
He is honest with his time
It seems he recognizes
And responds to subtleties
He understands the essence
Goes beneath the pleasantries
He’s comfortable with messy
His conquest has no tests
No one needs defeating
There is only tenderness
JAB and his transforming ways
With pulls and tears and seeps and frays
Feel, as imagery unfolds
Notice how he’s touched your souls

Conscious Beings

Being of a conscious form
Seeing, aware of the view
All your thoughts and wonders born
We have our patterns and blunders too
It can be hard, and we can be torn
While creating this brilliant hue

Growing, intending to teach
Sewing a fabric never complete
Spreading awareness, hoping to reach
Showing fairness and kindness replete
And yet, in this world with so much of each
Still, we yearn for a sense of sweet

Naturally

Nature’s way is perfect
And once we all connect
We’ll view the brilliance in the airwaves
Essential order now correct

I believe that this will come to pass
Intuition saves the day
We learn our thoughts materialize
And see the power of our ways

Now if this solitary person
Sitting peaceful in the grove
Can see the world ablaze like this
We can all create the love

It just takes ordinary people
Giving credit where it’s due
Focusing their strengths
On what is right and what is true

Heartfelt

For all the thoughts that lost their pull
For reasons good and reasons cruel
I stand a shell of who I was
But shells are beautiful, just because

Tossed and turned through years of waves
Wading, for the tides must change
This small crustacean drifts ashore	
Smoother now for all it saw
