I carry a dagger
I call it a pen
yes, in a way it can cut
but it also can heal
still, it writes my unabridged thoughts
where in that, I ask ferrets sin
I choose to see light
where darkness blooms
a positive that dances such a constant
in my physically limited view
where a fierce angry fist is first perceived
does not always preclude the arrival of a
murder some blow
life accumulates many pages, foot notes, reminders
and souvenirs
many that are false, true or just neutral in point
but the books are all only borrowed
we, the people only make up their rough veneers
the litter we pick up and or discard along the way
is more feed for the fossil yet formed
more folklore to pass down the clearer trail
fear by eradicated fear
tale by tempted tale
another drop of spirit
collected for perfection's plentiful pail
to be distributed in a realm
where all truth and love is revealed
the beautiful light behind those clouds you
sometimes see
that is our salvation waiting
patiently for us
a speck of a fleck from a glimmer of what will be.....
