Mockery

Mockery

 of opulence

creates

vicarious consequence.

An impetus of 

confidence

will exult

consciousness,
     
adorn

chasm of 

commoness,

silken

providence.

For me, each complex, profound thought peeled away its truth in a way that totally resonates with my own perspective of truth. This is impressive, it is wisdom and quickens my hope for like-minds actually being in the universe (I often wonder about those I share the planet with.) With gratitude, I enjoyed .... CayCay

Wow, Susan, it only took you nineteen words to use the eight required. I would say that is very frugal and pretty darn impressive. Best of luck. John
