Short Sigil Poems

My, the frightfully threatening roll
of the foreign tongue
inexplicable, rapid fire
shrapnel to the unaccustomed ear
proceeding, ever forward
in an unintelligible tirade.

Ears ache for understanding
Eyes strain for common ground

landing without fan fair

I needed to feel awake before I died,
And so I did some things that made me live...
I didn't rob a bank or kill someone

Truth speaks easy
If you but see


Learn to focus
On clear locus


Know what you know
As learning grows


Draw your own line:
Symbols and signs


A glyph is code
In secret mode


A sigil says
In hidden ways


Watch your heart make
The path you take


Start to know truth
In visual proof


Beauty hints more
Such profound shores


Look deeper still
Discern goodwill


All that you know
Masks a true show
