The collective angst
Burning my eyes
The corporate dread
Of dire sheep
Dangerous gullibility
Gone to seed
Taking to heart
What takes the heart away from you
Notions of malignancy
Wages of self sufficiency
Paid forward
Carelessly taking care
Of most mundane matters
Ignoring what matters the most
Feeling the heartbeat
Sensing the stillness in the fullness of a breath
Singing not
Yet leaving nothing unsung
The song sings itself
No more monkeys throwing saddles on my back
No tug of war with my yoke fellows
Pulling together at last
The storm blew down the fence that kept us apart.
The veil in the temple torn to shreds by your winds
Blessed are the eyes that are blind
Nothing wrong with being alright
Living while i die while i live
No fish to save from drowning
No clown to save from crying
Adorned with vastness
Clothed with emptiness
Fathomless awareness
Fully alive

:smile: About the poetry. This is only my opinion and you may disagree...
It is awesome, most lines are deep and surprising. I really like your writings.
The only thing is...
It is too busy. You cover so many themes in one poem that the brain is overwhelmed.
I would love to see you have one or two themes in a poem, even if you have to make the poem shorter.
We all think different. I believe if you stick to one topic and stay there, but embellish it with your wealth of metaphors, you will reach people. Because what you have to say is excellent.
I hope you are not offended by my comments, I truly want to help your poems be appreciated more.
