Don't make sense to a lot of people?
I guess this could be true
BUT 
Are they in fact sensible people-
who can't make sense of you ?

cuts too quick for pound of flesh-
sly parry of wit
leaves assailant floundering

  She's just so tone-deaf; it's so un-cool

Species cannot make transitions by one another
If they do, the tricks of compromise and competition
they take would make this world no order and logic

The nonsensical makes sense
An alignment, not of this earth
Stretching beyond joyous moments.
Welcome, long lost Divine innocence.

Lies are a thin veil -
A filmy shield
Through which the heart can sense
The shape of betrayal

Premium Member her sense of selfness

some tried to put her into boxes
wanted to hang labels on her
she punched her way out
kicking and shrieking her truth
we marveled at her sense of self

Just the Sense

Does silence kill the sound
Does light hide the shadow
Does the word make the sentence
Does the touch make the sensation
Does the thought make the I am
