One of a KInd





ONE of a kind,
as thoughts meander mindful dreams ~
Not what it seemed of lies hidden truth that’s now revealed
Down amongst rocks waves puddling pools
But who laid them down
to shape into rules ~
Jagged they tear into mans very being
Accept how it is as can’t be all seeing
Beyond horizons new worlds conceal
Perhaps change is rule
which reels the real deal
Isolating droplets of fresh morning dew
Maybe that’s all there’s really to do
Drips self containing dew jewels ever raining
Adds to infinity and all that is true
Insignificance pales newest bright light day
Igniting flames fanning sparks of highway
Embrace then whatever courses your way
But keeping a thought to change when it’s needed
Rules maybe rules but YOU know what your creed is.

  3. I agree with Claudia on the last two lines. Like the ocean's tides we are always changing, yet becoming more true to who we are. Blessings.

  8. I feel as if you took all the words in this poem, rattled them in a dice box, and then threw them all out in an unlikely but amazing order. Nice.

  9. There's some fun word play here in reel and real. But I especially like the phrase "flames fanning sparks of highway."
