Yoni Dvorkis Poet Quatrain

Healing Flesh

Do not see me as I am

  Or you'll be disappointed

See instead my wall of flesh
 
  Dismembered and disjointed


I'll make sure the bones will mend
 
  And never show their age

Rest inside my warmest thoughts

  Of quiet tempered rage


Discover endless reasons why
 
  The flesh will always fail

Embodiments of truer cause

  Could look behind the veil

Donna Golden October 28, 2009 at 1:14 PM Masterfully written quatrain, Yoni. The second stanza is my favorite, although each one shows depth and introspection that is admirable. Hugs, Donna
