Destiny's dreaming on the shore
Of amphitheater highlights
Streaks of blonde on blue
In search of twinkling twilight
Gleams of glowing gables white
Upon the shingles of the night
Fade to gray in amber's sight
Left to right, left to right
When long hair hippies were the norm
In forms of blues and bells
With appliqued red white and blue
On seats that shrink and swell.
Wishing willows in the well
Improv readings, show and tell
Doctor up the empty shell
Buy and sell, buy and sell.
Left to right shades of blue
Buy and sell in liars hue
Dimlit masses cut to cue
Seeming loss of me and you.
As if the blind-man couldn't see
Hypocrisy in you and me
Blinded by the imagery of
Left to right, left to right
Buy and sell no time to tell
Give a human liberty
Of final say on imagery
You might see similarity
In what you be primarily
Damn the mold that holds the head
Of thinker bold or thinking dead
Give me room to option use
Of sunrise seen and daily bread.

Thanks so much for the comments
. I am very glad I ended up with a piece that speaks to others and not just me 
. I love spontaneous poetry which is one of the reasons I usually make a point of taking a look at contests that are less than a day from closing. It forces me to go with my inspiration instead of conjuring things up by thinking too hard. When I read the contest, I was thinking about a friend from the past who had a daughter named Destiny and the sky out my front door which faces east was starting to show signs of twilights coming. Not sure exactly how it traveled from there, but one thought led to another and gave me more things to think about . Funny how the muse can dance so nicely when I let it.

This was top of the head? Wow stanzas flowing freely as the honey of heart.I love the first Stanza there was no thought limitation within it.It was from the eyes to the heart.Then thought provoked as it went on.Images of black invaded my mind as I read.Loved the "left to right" "Left to right" Gave it flow and a feeling of rigidity somehow.Excellent write a wowserooney in fact!

AMAZING! GODLY! BEAUTIFUL
One of the best poems I have ever read in my entire life. I am in tears. My emotions are overwhealmed. This is amazing work. You should truly proud.
When long hair hippies were the norm
In forms of blues and bells
With appliqued red white and blue
On seats that shrink and swell.
Wishing willows in the well
Improv readings, show and tell
Doctor up the empty shell
Buy and sell, buy and sell.
this is by far my favorite stanza.
good luck in the contest, I mean that.
peace *&* love always,
