These Embattled Bones
Folder:
2011 From the eyes of a scorned optimistic I see the ways of the world
The motives, the assignments
I sneer at my unfulfilling role
one of subdued reliability without conclusion
When all i want is a shared volatility without illusion
this conflicted day is solemn...and awful dreary
although the sun's luminous smile and honest, warm clouds speak
The scene is nullified by a dark oppression
neglectful rain slithers with carelessness, directionless meandering
with no signs of guidance, or free will other than the sciences of a physical truth
Definitely not the genetic descendent of several berated heretics and beloved heroes
where a moral code is concrete but the road less traveled
is hazardous
Where opportunity and presentation are magnificent
when your lane merges into another
when knowingly necessary
...No
This is a slow day.
With nothing of importance to express
but the glare of another new moon ahead
To assume a new noble role is not only to fathom detailed consequences of reason
but also take into account the necessity of a conquered sum of all fears
I am equipt to endure this adversity
with sharp mind and sharper weaponry
yet I drag my feet
I know yet another day of this tranquil isolation
becomes a liability for myself
This stillness is as comfortable as it is threatening
stifling, choking
I urge myself to hope
to send jolts of uncoordinated electricity through my bloodstream
especially when this engine runs idle for so long...
I wonder when I will capture the need to investigate the reality of this simple scene
and decide when it is the time for something more to satisfy these embattled bones

From time to time I end up there - no charge, no battery to tap - that is the time for small steps, accomplish small tasks, then expand slowly until a semblance of a good pace is attained. There are usually setbacks, but this is to be expected - I loved this poem, a good read this evening ~a~
