VARIOUS DEGREES

LIFE'S JOURNEY

 

 

Hidden behind the glossy slick smile,

The tender lines of a fraudulent smile

Lies

Frustration, fear, and just plain old worry

Many times have the call for strength come

But, just for once chaos would feel like the norm

Torn in two between the selfish and the rational

Whom shall win this victory?

Thinking in an abstract mode, crossing life spans

Entering into strange encampments

Letting time fly

Imagining propelling thought elsewhere...

Floating moving through faces as if at sea

Becoming a tsunami suddenly dashing and

Killing all hope of HOPE

Masking the realization

With erratic hand gestures

Questioning eyes, close-fisted body movements

Listening without speaking

Meditate out of this stasis

Fully open the third eye to bring me

Comfort...

Blanket me with solace

Intense imagery, brilliant writing, and spoke straight to my tender heart today.

Fully open the third eye to bring me comfort...Blanket me with solace. omg. Just brilliant!

[OT]

love those last lines - "Fully open the third eye to bring me
Comfort...
Blanket me with solace" - the third eye - out of the stasis and into the comfort - the blanket of solace to give some sense of peace in a world where hope has been quashed by the tsunami here (great image that was too) - nice!

[Gilbert Saint]

like the creative pairing, imagery with the image, loss of hope shown by the darkness in the picture and the girl looking like she's gonna jump off a cliff. Hmmm, nice.
