Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

A Living Word

A living word needs no other voice
than that of its own. Truth, articulates
a resonance-universe – though the ear 
hears only what it wants, a chamber of
both personal and foreign echoes.
The eyes and mouth often
myopic twos, mouth mouthing 
opposites from like sides, upper lip 
that can rise shaping wings, and drift, 
not always for kisses preparing, but the 
flight also a chance for the heart to lift
and follow – our greater nature one
to hearken and travel....

Gershon Wolf February 17, 2022 at 11:32 AM --except when Truth is silenced. ~ Vladimir Putin and Comrade Xi Joseph P. DiMino February 17, 2022 at 4:38 PM For sure; he is a liar. He will not invade. Just wants guarantee not to admit Ukraine to Nato. More a distraction. Give it to him. China will go into Taiwan. Big payoff for certain Democrats. The evil web we have allowed to weave.
