"Cross Roads, Notes and Bridges" Silence arrives in the spaces between a conversation missing in the archives of love music drowns the unnecessary what point words then, swords planted in the spaces sharp, clean and gleaming the mortared existing in the spaces in between bleed unheard words piercing hearts muddy unclear unseen the unsaid unsung dissolve will-o'-the-wisps wishing wells full of tears torn walls fall eventually like a disrobed wedding gown cross roads notes and bridges (LadyLabyrinth / 2022) Gregorian - Enjoy The Silence - Depeche Mode https://youtu.be/55XIdavZxCQ "Tell all the truth but tell it slant Success in circuit lies Too bright for our infirm Delight The Truth’s superb surprise As Lightning to the Children eased With explanation kind The Truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind."

Love your words and music...very soul inspiring. "As Lightning to the Children eased With explanation kind The Truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind." Very lovely...and I totally agree, reminded of something I once wrote: "Awaken them slowly, carefully, or they may feel little more than shadows, frantic with light." You are quite a deep thinker. Blessings my friend.

No, not crazy, in my opinion, far from it. Where we are is at the knot between spiritual realization and physical reality. I, again speaking for myself, on this subject wear crazy as a badge of honor, preferring to focus on the spiritual side of things, for the physical is glued to our consciousness, and needs no additional adhesive -- if that makes sense. There is nothing in the physical world that doesn't have a dog wagging it in the spiritual world. We are both normally pixelated~ if that makes sense:)

People will read into words of others whatever they must or will. The more I did background research while writing this poem, the more I understood, what was unravelling before my eyes. This is how poetry evolves for me, works for me. There's a supernatural flame to most things, in my mind and through my eyes. Call it crazy. Call it what one must or will. Others will read their own thoughts, meanings, relevance (if at all), into this poem. No one thinks alike, everyone has their own personal take on things, including poetry. I am elated that you walked away with something that was, perhaps, uplifting.

Only my personal take on the subject. I agree, each of us is special, unique...every now and then, beneath the shading, within the fortress, a spark, a speck of light leaps out~ that someone somewhere quickly extends a hand to grasp (thoughtlessly, reflexively), drawing it to his or her heart as if a jewel or a divine prophesy. We are seldom aware...and perhaps it is best. This where faith in God must take precedence. Anyway, has worked for me. Who knows?

why are we all here, for in our writing, there must be some purpose...."other than". maybe I'm one of those spooky 'old' souls. The world is entering a time of change, the magnitude of which, many will not be ready for, this much I feel is a certainty. thank you, we all have some 'purpose' here, don't we?
