PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A hooded figure swathed in black velvet

   balances on the balustrade high above the assembly
Sapient words waft down through
   candlelight & smoke,
   "You who see merely with your eyes, 
        who hear just with your ears,
        are blind & deaf
     You will never be able to mine the
        rich depths of the soul,
        glean gold from hidden mysteries
     Until you turn your senses inward,
        your heart will be an organ
        used only for the pumping of blood"
