A FINE MIST

inspired by a phrase on pg 172 of Azar Nafisi's Reading Lolita in Tehran "... and words literally rose up in the air & descended upon us like a fine mist, touching all five senses."

 A FINE MIST

Words flood our minds with wonder & consequence

As we breathe in resonance & a fine mist of beauty

Beating with our heartbeats, traveling at the speed of light

And rising up into weightlessness & rocketing into the air

Taking our mind's eye on the never ending journey of illumination

[Dysphoria]

Very simple yet very powerful, I like this

[Alexander Scott]

"words flood our minds with wonder & consequence" Utterly brilliant & absolutely beautiful. One of the best poems I've ever read!

[cest la vie]

I read the book, it was wonderful..
This is a beautiful piece my friend!!

[Doctor JKC]

I like the use of & instead of and.
A word we must avoid, unless impossible.

If we have no words we think in cartoon
images, like how a child dreams.

Excellent!
Jack

p.s. I adore Laurel and Hardy
or Haurel and Lardy.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

That is really some very deep philosophical thinking on the power of the written word... I look forward to the comedic version.

[Coyote Poetry]

A amazing flow of words. I had to read it a few times. When a speaker can tell a story the words can awake the mind.

[Nautili]

one tiny error -weightlessness

[JustKeith]
