Rising Inherent

Rising Inherent

 

Your fight’s

not with me

Your fight’s

with the truth

That stands

in defiance

To what you

may choose

 

It knows

of no allies

But enemies

plain

And rises

inherent

Itself

— to proclaim

 

**

 

New masks

 

Interface

with reality

or then

to be real ...

 

Those crutches

and wheelchairs

designed

to conceal

 

Smart phones

and I-pads

new masks

of the day

 

Hiding our

essence

whose self

— is betrayed

 

**

 

This Promise Eternal

 

Rewriting  

a poem

beyond all

dispute

 

Creates a

new fusion

that none

will rebuke

 

To speak

to new feelings

in letters

and sound

 

Remarries

a union

 where solemn

we vow

 

This promise

eternal

with eyes

open wide

 

Resharing

our essence

Respoken

— alive
