Bloodstreams

Tearing reality at the seams
Buried beneath these taunting dreams
Lost in countless data streams
Principles chase my themes
While promise redeems
Woe's booming screams
This lie reams
Esteem's
Schemes

Great Nonet, John. They're not easy to write - but this one is exceptional in theme and tone. Wishing you a Happy & Blessed New Year. Peace always, John
