Somehow the signals got crossed,
Cerebral circuitry cyphering through
Loops of remembering and forgetting,
Over and over.
Press pause, step back,
BREATHE.
Significant signals sent straight
From the skies, searching for sentient life.
Absorbing the intellectual infrastructure,
The ignorance of indifference,
Assessing the damage done through idle hands,
And moving on, "Nothing more to see here folks."
But I, receptive to the message,
Reach into my soul to retrieve
The spark that resides there.
To light up the sky because I care.
And within that blessed light eternal
No evil thing can ever thrive there.
Spiritual beings guarding righteous
paths overgrown with thorns,
Cut through past the norm,
Find peace in the eye of the storm.
Reassemble molecules to manifest
Destinies, and then return...
So we can save the rest of these.
Brothers, sisters, misses, misters,
Fight through all the blood and blisters.
Just to take a strangers hand and
Let them know you understand.
Reading the fine print behind their eyes,
Seeing through the lies that hide the
Pain that dims their skies.
For with every breath within my
Chest the fire rages higher.
I LIVE TO INSPIRE!!!
And with each spark that turns to flame,
That one then turns and does the same.
And the message is delivered.

Depth and great wording make up a great poem here. You have so many poetic elements in this one it can almost make ones head spin, you have free verse, rhyme, rhythm, metaphor, alliteration and probably a ton more but I am really bad form poetry! LOL. Either way, this is quite a write and so inspiring. I love the message here, and the message I receive from this is basically love thy neighbor, love everyone, and do unto others as you would have them do unto you..
"Just to take a strangers hand and
Let them know you understand."
These words alone, I think, make this poem what it truly is, and that is great!
Keep penning my friend,
Also, long time no speak. How have you been!
Love,

Love, hugs and sunny smiles.

Thank you for taking the time to read it. Sometimes free writing exercises can take on a life of their own if you just keeo the pen moving. I usually use it to generate new ideas, but sometimes it becomes an entity all to itself. Thanks for the applause
Much Love

i think it's interesting. it's neither completely free verse nor completely rhyme. i like the mix. i like all the alliteration you used in your first two stanzas. it sounded oh-so-pretty...
