Shattered Illusions

I want the brokenness to shatter the illusions of life. Crumbling facades desperately clinging, hopelessly parading what does not matter. I want the freeing from fiction and falsehood prevailing. Believing the lies told by others and to myself. Dying to selfish, rebirthing to truth, manifesting light in the purity of pursuit.

Thank you, Skat. Grateful for your comments. I LOVE your work! Intense imagery on the Mortician. Haven't gone through your entire, prolific portfolio of art, but will do so. I am a criminal defense and military private investigator practicing for 14 years. My first 3.5 years I was a bounty hunter. Have traveled over to the Middle East and throughout the U.S. working for the defense. Have a wonderful wife and 6 children. How about you, if you don't mind? Thank you for your kindness and warm welcome.

Dear Destroyer, I appreciate your welcome and kindness. It is great to be among kindred spirits reveling in each other's poetry while contributing our own works. Not sure how I go about doing the Poet Friend thing, but will try. Thank you, again.
