The Condor

Marvelous to see a condor soar unlike the ghoul when landed and picking -- master of thermals! dark lord of demise -- which makes me more profoundly consider his tearing beak, and vacant, soulless eyes imagining now, a higher purpose, loftier reason for his seeming casual glides -- dripping red, making bleeding sunsets~ exposing man's many elevated truths (righteousness we use to impale one another) as splatters of bloody lies --

Yea...dark stuff I know. But a sad reality at times. Thank you, Linda. Have a great writing day my friend! Just an after thought, regarding Harry Potter: it seems great fiction -- HG Wells, etc. -- have in common, social truth and weird possible prophesy.

Yes, Rumi says some beautiful things. I have read a few of his works. Christian Mysticism I relate to closest, also am very fond of Hindu Mysticism. Thank God we have many inspiring sources from which to gather and read. Greatest of all, The Blessed Bible.
