Settling Misconceptions


Settling misconceptions

Leaving the tensions

Done with the one sided two sided war

I surrender.

 

With unclenched balled fists, I praise. 

Realize nothing can compare 

To the incomprehensible vastness you wear

Potency so strong 

Only players will dare.

 

I soak in your physical brilliant blaze

Eyes glued shut, head pushed sideways

This is not a phase

 

Grace your eagerly parched cacti

Send a wave.

If not every so often

To remember the almost forgotten

 

Aid us a glimpse amid the black and white 

Between morning and night.

The dusk and the dawn

Wake the withdrawn 

 

Prevent trips down cracked roads of question 

Pave cobblestoned lesson intervention 

Allow us to heed the raved

The flying letters unscathed 

Free the enslaved

Permit us to bathe in the everlasting residue of our burning sage
