Punctuated Journey (for poets 60 and over)

We whose life style is of searching the deep recesses of our inner being…in search of the ONE true REALITY
are not welcome here….

As the world embraces its insanity/makes love to its

MADNESS we are afraid
in our hearts is a fear so powerful it must be

SPOKEN or we will perish.

So we speak our FEAR.
And as we speak our fear grows larger into                                COURAGE.
With courage we peel away the layers of the                                   FACADE

we peel we peel we peel away the selves we have been

GIVEN

the selves we have

CREATED

the selves that have been

FORCED

upon us
the selves we haveINVENTEDIMAGINEDBORROWED

STOLEN

dreamed

CHERISHED

DESPISED

that we have hidden behind used as

SHIELDS

that we have

CALMED…

DENIED!!!

I have realized within myself

DEMONS

&

ANGLES

dancing together to a music I can only intuit….

Gods and Devils intimately

ENTWINED;

moving to an ancient throb.

And my courage changed to

WILL

that I used like a chisel

to chip away the hard harsh

ILLUSION

that

ENCASED

me.

I saw my demons and my angles exchange faces and my loneliness

CONSUMED me.
I saw myself tread-milled in the
Lethe of this

DREAM NIGHT-MARE PLAY FABLE SONG

that we know as

NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

And my loneliness defecated me

CLEAN

and

PURE.

My faith has made manifest   my soul

I have found my soul

I have touched my soul

I AM my soul.
