seal of reason

by Lee J. - Aquarius

seal of reason

Sunset proclaims a pompous descent
falling into earth’s great billowy folds
& my pale face 
learning 
what the hypnotic eye
claims as it’s own

daring confidence
illuminating 
future’s path
seemingly 
blue waters of yesteryears

still the soul
numbing flesh
this dominance 
triggers 
a gang banger
breath of flame 
with wings

where 
“would be” 
combustions 
mumble
whispers 
from sky screams
finding 
those winding stairs
drawing dots 
of purple horizons
connecting them 
with farms and villages

eyes look 
with absentmindedness 
upon men 
squinting across worlds
hardly 
human
taking notes 
while watching the stars
pouring cataracts 
into voiceless fountains
where atmosphere 
sits upon some 
sunlit cloudburst
throwing pebbles & thunderbolts 
in the way
pacing 
back and forth 
like mean lions

striking 
such a blow of superstition
one can hardly 
understand that priest
in the body of motion

fragments of bone whispers 
like eggshells 
shattered here and there
the world’s laws, glancing at
revival missions 
of madmen 
praying
trembling 
from glimpsing truth
learning how 
to look up to heaven
visioning only small things 
from the peaks of tears
only to guess the great part of it
giving a whole new meaning to 
“free as the wind”

Reason for writing:

    world events
