Feet widths apart
Chin lifted slightly
Trusting inner sagacity
Knowing we are

None
            sagacity exists ...

In the tavern
Of Poetry flows the wine of 
Love, feelings, wisdom, 
Vision, sense and sagacity
Drunkenness permissible...

As daylight transpires
I peek whilst marveling
If I shall ever procure my stance
Everywhere I may tread
Along the astral patterns
Sagacity reclines
Though eyes may never see
Beyond the facade...

Starless sky
soundless streets
sparrows soundly sleep
superstores shut
silenced shops
silent soul sagacity
savoring solitude serenity

I aim for brevity,
Strive for clarity,
Avoid ambiguity
And trite banality,
Insert sagacity,
Blend in sensitivity,
Fine-tune for harmony,
Appeal to humanity,
Infuse with honesty,
And voilà!
Poetry!...

Veracity is conformity to facts and accurate.

Trump before never possessed any veracity;
His mind and memory have limited capacity;
Lies poor;
Kept score,
And surely was seen without any sagacity.

Spiritual journey is a pilgrimage to piety
from vice to virtue toward divine consciousness, 
attained by sagacious introspection.

Darkness,
the beginning path
Burns brightest
at the end

Storm clouds
over a troubled youth
Success now on
the mend

Struggles, trials,
and failures past 
Just fuel,
to keep you warm

Sagacity, 
the final truth
Eyes seeing past
the harm

Darkness, the beginning path
  spawns brightness at the end

Storm clouds over a troubled youth
  division on the mend

Struggles, trials, and failures past
  just fuel to keep you warm

Sagacity, the final truth
   —eyes seeing through the harm

Every fiber of hope..

Grasping just to cope.. 

Rummaging for sanity. 

Mind full, yet empty.. 

Thoughts in disarray.. 

Wishing them away.. 

Sagacity losing grip..

Mind emotional trip..

Continued battle..

Difficult struggle..

Trying to hang on..

Just to stay strong.....

A 
house
lizard’s
detached
tail 
wriggles. 
Flavor 
of
parting
is
pain.
To 
sacrifice
a part
to 
save
the
rest
is 
sagacity.
A
soul
needs
neither
fair
nor
the
whole
body.
The 
tail’s
pizzazz 
and 
warmth
vanish
in
stillness.
Even
a
piece
of  
flesh
is
stinky
without
soul....

The world is not conclusion;
A sequel stands beyond,
Invisible, as music,
But positive, as sound.
It beckons and it baffles;
Philosophies don't know,
And through a riddle, at the last,
Sagacity must go. 
To guess it puzzles scholars,
To gain it, men have shown,
Contempt of generations,
And crucifixion known....

When the going gets cold

I was going down the lane
when I saw an ice front coming up the hill
I let go of the dog.
Ran home and burnt old poetry books
to keep the cold at bay.
Sagacity went up in flames keeping me warm
cold ashes and regrets.
The dog, with its thick fur and disregard 
of reading
survived in the hollow of an old oak....

Winter Cold.

I was going for a walk
when I saw an ice front coming down the lane 
I let go of the dog on lead.
Ran home and burnt old poetry books 
to keep the cold at bay. 
Sagacity went up in flames keeping me warm.
Cold ashes and regrets.
 And the dog, with its thick fur and disinterest 
in reading, survived in the hollow of an old oak....

folly
                    senseless, ignorant
          neglecting, sacrificing, ignoring
ineptitude, foolishness, knowledge, sagacity
           prevailing, imparting, acquiring
                  precocious, intelligent
                               wisdom

Sagacity

Pulled from the beating heart
This quick agony
Spells

For what wrong thought to be
Became so easily
Right

So right the languid exponent
Of ready truth
Knew

With the arrogance of comprehension
Gave its struggle
Righteousness

And in the pity of hindsight
Woke consciousness to 
Regret

For what right thought to be
Became so easily 
Wrong...

Anguish when fragmented by helpless musings
Bluntness staggers like punches
Sluggish when cut by limitations
Elixers downed promising possibilities 
Needing the energy bravery requires while
Crevices threaten the sagacity of age
Extinction in the rage of alzheimer's cage

One scattered about roaming round in these perilous wilderness full of lost hopes and sagacity. Was a compass and a map given to you lost ones? Yet you chose not to follow its direction and chose your own paths diverted and went astray, you often screamed your a free thinker and yes most of us are. Lost ones sometimes most of us needs guidance so we won’t  trampled the wrong weary roads lost ones....

You can’t teach poetry pro forma
it’s the effort of a fool
You can’t gain sagacity from a book
or by the golden rule

You can’t be what you haven’t lived
the safety net misleads
You can’t bleed with another’s blood
transfused each phrase deceives

The dance floor or the balcony
true seekers get to choose
And write those words their pain has forged
—that dilettantes misuse
