His Quiet Contemplation



Contemplation
was never quiet
in the bustling
afterlife
of humanity's wake

While skyscrapers pillar thoughts
and clouds smokescreen clarity

he mused over streams

and rivers

and the nature

of their flows

 

And concepts wash

like tides

among the shores

of tomorrow

where in tributaries

rests

no compromise

 

So while others sail

his depths

and eat his forests

with architecture

claiming pieces

of an already battered

mind

he moves forward

thoughts racing jet lag

around their ignorant

heads

...Ugh

    I liked the ending with the jetlag. It was one of those personal touches that makes a poem memorable.

    Oh my...speechless! This is so good and in reference to the pic. You always have so many lines that I could quote as a favourite that there is no point, other than to copy and paste the whole poem. You are so very talented. Where are your books?...alby
