Change of Inner Self?
Possible…
Difficult…
Impossible…? No!
Damn hard to do while here below
Isolate…
Meditate…
Hypnosis…
Singing songs for awhile
Sub-consciousness…
Consciousness…
Higher Self…
Progression can’t be put upon the shelf
Within…
Without…
Combined…
Straight lines curve along the path
Detour…
Lost…
Found again…
What we lose is beyond our ken
Coal…
Pressure…
Diamonds…!
Twisted within; straightened out, value is found
Mine…
Caverns…
Magma…
Boiling, blanching essence comes
Fumes…
Tremble…
Explosion…
Chaos created; earth reformed
Billowing clouds…
Smoke…
Ash…
Descend now upon the land
Sculpted…
Uprooted…
Bombarded…
Down this path we’ve been before:
Will we learn “Nevermore *”?

wow, i really really REALLY liked this , the symbolism, and how we start with ourselves and it ends with the "ENTIRE THING" very awesome, showing how we, although we may not feel like such an important thing in the grand scheme, are all rolled up into one big ball, ??!.......and then avalanche!!!! beautiful and clever!!!...............this is the key to understanding the true significance of humanity as a microcosm; as above, so below; as within, so without.....

Excellent write here
It seems the people of this world is in the same viscious cycle for we generation after generation teaches the same things so therefore we never seem to rise above the coruption . Feeling this world is forever and in feeling this way we scavange and corupt all weithin our sight and knowing all along the children of the future was never considered for the greed of today is where the teachings ends its a crime if we continue and Im afraid it shall be our own doing as we watch the violence bring us to an end

love it!
Depth is reflected in simplicity. You said very much about the human process, and like alchemy itself... a never-ending trial and error pursuit, refining and exploring ourselves, with the hope of creating gold from lead. Bravo! -

TIGHT!
WOW This is the kind of poetry I like. Deep philosohpical and just down right cool. I love how you the words are just one-worders but each one are powerful and deep and really builds the meaning and message behind the poem. Excellent work!
