Pandita Sietesantos Poet Free verse

See No Evil

See No Evil
 
Let not your vision be distorted by the green eyes
of jealousy that raises its invidious ugly head,
overflowing with cynical thoughts,
slithering like a serpent into visceral minds,
hiding like a virus in crepuscular crevices,
and in the pervasive penumbra of
desultory doubt and deep despair.
But heed the divine sonorous summons
to see all that is full of exuberant goodness,
opulent truth, and halcyon light.
 
 
crepuscular, desultory, exuberant, halcyon, visceral
cynical, sonorous, penumbra, opulent, jealousy
