when the water lily speaks

Intersecting triangles and connecting dots
jumbles of words
on a silver and gold charm bracelet,
your head jingling on her belt.
Ha!
You laughed.
The goddess in her disguise
bested and played you for
all she is.

You must dance to her tune,
disembodied from the neck down.
She is without mercy.
She is your soul.

the Good egg

there is no such thing
as a bad egg,
or even a rotten apple in a barrel
when we're all in the same
nest depending on earth
for survival
and love to make it real.

A Picasso in words would love to hear the thoughts that put this to paper, with many an intricate vision of being, then to blame the Soul ???
Yours, Ian.T

There are a million reasons to believe in yourself,
So find more reasons to believe in others..

Blaming is a human phenomenon. The soul enures all. Is all.

Thank you for your comment, Ian.
