Michael E. Harris Poet Free verse

The Pepperman and Golden Treasures

I OPENED A DOOR 
AND FACED GOLDEN TREASURES. 
A WORLD OF KNOWLEDGE 
BEYOND ANY MEASURE. 

A PLACE WHERE THOUGHTS
WERE CONTAINED AND PROTECTED.
LIFE AND EXPERIENCE 
COMBINED AND CONNECTED.

THEY LIVED THEIR LIVES.
AND SHARE THEIR VIEWS.
THEY FACED THE TRUTH
AND PAYED THEIR DUES.

THEY RESIDE IN THE FUTURE,
PRESENT AND PAST.
RESONATE VISIONS THROUGH TIME
THAT WILL LAST.

OBSERVATION 
OF VISUALIZATION
EXCEEDS THE LIMITS
OF OUR IMAGINATION.

CONTROL OF THE PAST
PUTS THE FUTURE ON HOLD.
CONTROL OF THE FUTURE
THE TRUTH IS UNTOLD.

HERE I STAND
BETWEEN BOTH DIRECTIONS.
BEFORE AND AFTER
TRUTHS AND REFLECTIONS.

SEEKERS OF TRUTH HAVE 
PASSED THROUGH THESE DOORS.
SEEKING THE KNOWLEDGE
RESTRICTED BEFORE.

ANCIENT WISDOM
OF SACRED SECRETS
FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE
OF FUTURE PRESCRIPTS.
