Paradoxical Perfection

Listen to poem:
Written: November 19, 2023 ____________________________________________ Beyond the ethereal hues, reigns peace, Incongruous with intrinsic ease. Noshing desire tugs at the core fibers of my soul, Wear tiredness bruise, frailty, and out-of-control. The twinges of awe distort and narrow, Dazzling me with its emerald harrow. Crushing the sunlight rays that spread, Oozing a cruel throb of dryness in my head. The emptiness hosts sight and sound, The truth is revealed by my idle ground. Controversy seeps through my arteries, Providing a safe haven for my mysteries. Salt penetrates the skin's surface, Water waves form in pools as they face. Sharing the mind wonderful disarray, So utterly, I'll be in anguish all day! Life is blasted against the glass akin to sand, Time is marked by simple, quiet steps stand. What remains is a barely flickering light, That is a velvety smear spackled in the sight.

Very beautiful. I loved this. "anguish all day" I've been that before...sometimes nature hurts and wants us to hurt with it. It creates beauty so we can speak back? Hmmm....a pleasure to stop by!
