Conscience and Surviving

Conscience And Surviving (*Shadow/Blitz poetry should be read rapidly) Clear the air Clear of conscience Conscience causes confusion Conscience derails dreams Dreams fail to fit the occasion Dreams will melt Melt unrealistic margins Melt them with fire Fire will purify Fire burns fast Fast through flaming houses Fast over high dry grasses Grasses continue and turn green Grasses grow giant lawns Lawns become giants Lawns climb mountains Mountains stay still as they can Mountains do not leap Leap over oceans Leap to the stars Stars wink out secrets Stars tell scary stories Stories of violent creation Stories about the hidden dark Dark takes over Dark creates night Night drinks in power Night consumes the alter ego Ego shrinks to such depths as man Ego bathes in the light of day Day discloses realities intent Day takes the sun to happy places Places in the heart Places rich in passion Passion recognized by everyone Passion born from the burning sun Sun that reaches every soul Sun takes solace from shade Shade has no shadow of its own Shade belongs to trees Trees treat sun and shade the same Trees have leaves and religious beliefs Beliefs in nature Beliefs is little creatures Creatures come and go Creatures know surviving Surviving peacefully Surviving gently Gently Peacefully

I enjoyed this train of thought immensely, try to shorten your lines a wee bit & let yourself think out of the box! I am home now and look forward to reading more of your verse! Light & Love

Hi Jan, Thank you. Debbie Guzzi gave me the format for doing a Blitz so I thought I would give it a try. She commented on my crazy poem about "Click " (which I just posted.) and I guess it reminded her of the Blitz. I also commented on her Blitz so maybe that is why she commented. The rules are a little tricky but it was a fun write. Thanks again. Have a wonderful day. Earl
