The plain is fuzzing with the ingress racing. Predicted rain is heard in the birds singing. Sow your seed when the moon tells its time. Hear the tales close to the fire; it's sublime. Contemplate the skies for the hawks cry. Focus on the breeze and the moonlit sky. The noble spirit exudes an altered tone. To heed of the rite of the elder, not atone. The misery of grievousness is heinous. I am fated, that I could carry forward. There's no growth from the coldness. The stable grace cannot stem rearward. For a dismal exhale to seek for reeling. Hear the beat and banter with moving.

This is so esoteric as most of your writings are.....meant for the intelligentsia! Too deep like the image ! Agree with what Judy has expressed !

WoW Lasaad his one is really deep and mystic. The picture here fits the poem well. I like the line "The misery of grievousness is heinous." Good Stuff. God Bless, JB

With the imagery and the great metaphors, this poem is an excellent example of poetry as a medium of catharsis, very profound and deep... Prolific and analytical minute penning.. regards
