think on these things

The perception is all yours,
like it not, the mirror of recognition
is a poisonous drink, drink to your fill
and fill in your own blanks with discontent,
bewildering
the sky with its savage heat, the ultimate desperation
is a communicable disease,
if one
should think about one's thinking;
consider the atomic structure of an
internal sun
the sun neither hides nor carries
shadows but for what stands in its way,
the moon makes no overtures of disclosure
to things that come what may,
why take mine out of proportion and slice
them into indiscreet sequences, dancing
tailspins on your circumstantial purloined plate,
the evidence is here and it is beauty itself that
makes the quantum leap
and learns the art of making love to such a thing
as poems,

the price of insignificance is a price that
offers itself in fair market value to be shared
at any cost,
the reddest rose you have ever
seen opens
broken wings and cocoons
did you tame the bluebird
caged in your heart?

Nature is a mystery and poetry is no mere science,
a mendicant monk sits cross-legged by the river
of no return, to never return, a Sufi swirls into one
universe after another and then the mountain,
sea and desert is but a fractal pattern repeated
like words we write on the fleshy part of water.

I really like this and the best part for me was this

the moon makes no overtures of disclosure
to things that come what may,

And this part

the price of insignificance is a price that
offers itself in fair market value to be shared
at any cost,

This write comes alive for me as most of your poetry does. (yes it took me time:) It is so true.. things that come what may. We live. We learn. We go forward or we stay behind. I love how you incorporated the beauty of words in this great poem.

Blessings to you gal

Love Mona
