Writing

Some write for surface escape – 
a pleasant rhyme, a gently traveling
breeze of uplifting, fragrant, whimsical thought...

while others write with deeper scent and penetration... 

with gusty intention, to swoop up and carry away~seeing images, 
and their associate, reverberating sounds, as vehicles – living segments of creativity – 
driving forces propelling a universe of perpetual restlessness, expandable ligaments – 

some writings easier to understand, more
flowing and direct than others relishing
the entrancing appeal of complexity~those billions 
of cells each of us are strung with – our weaves of
fluid transmissions, innate passwords, with crimping 
taboos (often impasses) – 

striving to be cognizant of the many, breathing patterns 
behind a deeper foraging nature~soul expressing a mystic 
journey of spacial revelation – 

like many of you, mostly I just write~overjoyed when
others take time, like myself, and struggle to compose a way
to more caring relationships...trying to inspire other singular minds 
and equally personal ears to believe in a yet to be written 
harmonious reality-network – 

a world of peaceful, while, never dull, resonating smiles
and voices....

ThanX Father DeMino. So glad u did personalize the last 2 stanzas. All is true of my writing to some extent: mostly I write as if writing is water that quenches thirst ( I can go 2-3 days without). Often I write to Christian pastors or seekers. Love, AD

"I write as if writing is water that quenches thirst" Could not be summed up better, Anil! Thank you, for sitting at the spiritual well, ladle in hand, for the wayward traveler. Blessings my friend. Your comments very often bring my soaring head out of misty clouds.
