How poetic can you be? Write a short poem about what you see!

It flew through the window with a crash,

Black lines against marble, Harmony,

They didn't see the irony.

commands etched in stone

inspiration imbued in the marrow

of our slowly aging bones

take a quantum leap, even a baby step

off the rocky precipice

and claim your power

within a state of grace and peace

stones rolling through history

chiseled names on headstones,

misery.

sympathy for a devil in you and me

Perfectly shaped, formed by waves

Jurassic sketching found in caves

as pebbles turn to sand,

in timeless erosion

it's out of our hand

I pray for peace honor and love,

Courage and strength from God above.

A world where harmony, dreams and inspiration,

Give light to our greatest thought of imagination.

(Absurdity)

Inspired by my dreams,

I strove to achieve

the courage, the elusive harmony--

between dream and reality--

But alas, I gained only

the bitter absurdity.

@ Martinforoz- February 2, 2019

I gathered four stones on my long and drowsydrunken trek.

Because they felt right in the frayed pockets of my jeans.

But as the winds around me turned from tiring to tornado

I realized the reason I wasn't pulled

Off into the screechingPollack sky

Were those full and simple rocks...

I March towards death but they won't let me die.

Resolute courage is what it will take

To chase your dreams when all is at stake

But the stars will align and actively inspire

In perfect harmony to grant your heart's desire
