Deviants and Divine


Whispers whirl in some distant lands,
Where sunshine spills on shifting sands,
Some deviants stroll diverse ways,
Beneath the shrouded clouds of grey.

They`re the ones who query the core,
Their spirits crave  for something more,
Not bound by strings of common thought,
They yearn to be eyed as big shots

To them the divine, a pale glow,
A faint truth, that with the breeze blow,
A scintillating sinking star,
That wanders from some realms afar.

Perhaps the deviant don`t care
How others think and how they stare,
How shattered mirrors shine unclear,
How they create worries and fear.

They dance where angels fear to tread
And weave their thoughts with added threads,
Their hearts a compass, keenly tuned,
To melodies of worlds perfumed.

Some customs grown over long time,
Amidst the common minds do shine,
But to deviants, a true source
Of annoyance, they don`t endorse.

They carry burdens from the woods,
The gleam of what is bad and good,
A drapery of light and gloom,
That by their very hands is loomed.

The divine, in its  grand design,
May find a beauty, that does shine
In every soul that dares to be,
Unfettered, unchained and quite free.

Deviants may seem out of place,
With an obdurate, upright grace;
Yet in their eyes, a knowledge deep,
Secrets the slumbering world keeps.

The divine isn`t reached through one gate,
But diverse roads that clinch our fate
And those who diverge, with eyes clean,
May see truth others mightn`t have seen.

So let them stroll, at their own stride,
Where the inner streams softly slide.
For in  deviants` shining soul,
The divine may find a round whole.

I liked how your poem explores the idea of individuality, nonconformity, and the search for deeper truth. The “deviants” are portrayed not simply as people who reject social customs, but as independent thinkers who question accepted beliefs and seek their own path toward meaning and the divine.
