Kai Michael Neumann Poet Free verse

Screen of Awareness

scream of awareness

like factor fifty lotion
a screen of cognizance 
shields emotions in
rational thoughts

perceptions
illusions
mere grasps of appreciation
slice through an underworld
of dreams wishes misunderstanding

the past reeks through
misrepresents disallows 
creates a narrative of survival
in the here and now
which harbours goalposts
dead ends aberrations diversions

if the road is wide enough 
there is a place for turning around
at the cul de sac 
listening to stepping stones
and trivia which overcome
the need to take and live life so seriously

we engage with life every day
die only once
fully aware or not 
what the journey entails

if I can grasp a twiglet of truths
to keep shape or brake
in the full knowledge
that few things matter
passion and fire
can be rekindled
which only comprises
kindness and love
