Reflections

sorenbarrett

Mists of memories condense on glassy eyes

Rivers of pain filled with sorrow's rain

Gathered fragments dropped with time's demise

are the indelible bane that the spirit does stain

 

In a storm ravaged soul, debris will remain

until tempest's cries are erased from the skies

Only with the dawn can one see again

metamorphosize, evaporating nocturnal lies

 

A bitter sacrifice to remove a bloodstain

One must sanitize, sins in disguise

A greedy god on new terrain

All fears exorcise and hope baptize

 

An emotional idiot now so wise

A healed brain considered insane

Here no physical law applies

Nothing that you gain can you retain

    Brilliant!
    a worded utopia of introspection's ideal
    ('I am a victim of introspection'
    Sylvia Plath)
    so tread carefully, wise Poet
    as you thread selfhood's insights
    within imagination's, poetic
    ..sight
    'All fears exorcise and hope baptize'
    never forget, our Amygdala inheritance
    is our salvation alarm, in this
    dulling daily routine trappings
    of repressed unease..
    stay sharp
    think wide
    and let your perspective's scope
    zoom-in,
    only on that which you deem worthy
    of your precious time, in this
    our ephemeral lives...
