IN LIGHTER VEIN
===============

If poetry must startle and awaken through expletives alone
It would have been called “worse”
If aggression is the only way that remains for attracting attention
Humanity soon may be reduced to a memory hardly of note or mention
Insecurity projected elsewhere is a stone ‘cast’ recklessly (?)
Assuming the storm will ne’er return to take down the erect mast!

Not much sweetness around, sadly in God’s world...
But judging it ‘out there’ from a ‘distant’, detached point of pointless purity
Produces another dream waiting to assume the persona of an interpretor
Or a footprint on the sands of time, that may be a mirage...
Or soon will become when the WAVE returns to reclaim its SAND!

If thoughts and beliefs are what create and raise a REALITY
Then it does make sense to focus on Beauty and not the Beast
It takes practice, it takes love but is that anything new ... ?
Ask any new mother, or even OLD, Who still has LOVE for us intact!
