Night glow
In the darkening night a glow
Of all that too presumptuous blares
Reposed, becalmed in the soft side of cares
In beds and pallets still and tossed
From palace scented frangipani to desert lost
The marble spins blue in the darkening night a glow
Souls flit and rise in ephemeral spirits song I know
All ripped connections, of face, place, uniform and so
In the navied night - all joined as one humanity – this I
know
yes i know :-) very nice piece.

I had to google frangipani.. I like how you tie it together at the end.. together we stand. together we fall...
ReplyDeleteOne of my faves of yours, Pearl.........love seeing the earth as a marble in the darkness.....cool to think of humans all over the planet, all connected. I love this!
