Blindfolds Removed

When stillness lies unbroken my heart dreams of timeless peace. My poems do not reckon or discern that peace may cease. With a heavy hand moonlight draws for me pictures of placid accord. New days will dawn and bring heartbreak; a poet's heart is tied to time's cord. I'll watch the summer sky explode without concern for what the near future holds, no awareness of ulterior schemes. I've not been told of moral blindfolds. Poised recklessly, each frame of my dream world these next few weeks is about to be revealed as truth speaks of rogue techniques.

Thanks, Eve, hope things are well with you. I have the flu (not contagious via Internet). I watched my grandson while he was off from school and he shared it with me. Appreciate your comment though it is accompanied by my headache and stuffy nose. Have a great day.
