    how close...

    can they just be locked inside
    all ready for flight
    fronted by outsight
    looking for something else
    to learn
    to cling to
    a needed blindness
    to hide truth
    as it is much too big
    for this skin to cloak
    is one without wings
    an energy unbroke
    a given description
    for contained minds
    absorbed deliberately
    but spared from fear of the unknown
    but WAIT...
    the flesh is an hourglass
    without the ticking clock
    that spits out "choices"
    how fast can it be learned
    before the "time" is up
    ongoing society warpings
    makes for a bigger challenge
    and more stress
    makes the body wear out faster
    the flesh is an hourglass
    the flesh is an hourglass
    and if the answers are inside
    if there was more air...
    just a little more air to breathe
    how close am I
    right now

    I simply don't award 10's...first ever. right from "fronted by outsight" I was mesmorized and the pulse of your writing metered and whispered(loudly) to my soul. thanks

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
