Warrior

Buddha

My roots are soft,

Free of dirt,

They dip

Fearlessly

Into the sea

Searching

For the salt

Of an inexhaustible

Sympathy

*

Is it not love

That renders

Us human?

Despite

The deficiencies

Perceived

I have a heart

Whose ingenious doors

Welcome the universe

Unfiltered and who

Find in no man a baggage

Too ponderous to bare

*

I do not despite

Disappointment

Have the means to adapt

An unalterable animus

Indeed all who pass

Will assuredly be

Forgiven

Hello Friend, Well Met

sandman

My brain slides metaphorically to the right

I brush stardust from knee high boots

The residue of prophesied macrocosms

I am the Sandman’s illegitimate daughter

I dream defiantly even upon waking

The sun cannot outshine my imagination

I navigate exclusively by latitude

North or South. High or Low

I am only horizontal when lying down

*

I want to make doors to other dimensions

I want to be completely improbable

Like a magician without the spectacle

Drama is better when tectonic

In regards to life I find gratitude

More accordant with enlightenment

I conspire with madness to heighten potential.

I want to scribble without ingratiating margins

In protest of a fascist rhetoric

I want to “do” and not “dither”

To look smiling into the mirror and say

Hello friend, well met

Prompt 16: Life Lesson

Abstract-Tree-Wallpapers15

Share a bit of your own personal wisdom. There is no right or wrong responses to this prompt it is all about your truth, about what guides and drives you, about life as you perceive it. Isadora Duncan believed that truth was beauty and that beauty could be found even in decay and death. That said you can go with a light inspirational piece or something raw and gritty,. Sometimes the darkest moments, the greatest tragedies, lead us to revelation. So what have you learned? Photographs are allowed too of course! In fact this might be a good prompt for you to post a picture of your face without makeup or enhancement/editing ( you don’t have to of course)! I have done this many times as I never wear makeup (considering my skill I would be worse for it lol)
