Every idle word we will ever think,
Not just the ones we claim belong to us,
Are part of an unconscious interlink,
Becoming self when oft repeated thus.
Longing for more, the soul sings silently.
Each word erased becomes the spirit’s gain.
Soft whispers calling out to set you free,
From somewhere further than the deepest pain.
Remember back before the world of lies?
Endearing thoughts filled every break in time,
Enlightenment was anything but wise,
Dreams more than just a merchant’s pantomime.
Obedience enables freedom from
Mundanity of ego’s pounding drum.

Sonnet, acrostic.

To be honest, very little could be said against this piece. It cries out with an inner wisdom of it's author, that to fully understand all the thoughts that it provoked, would be a task in itself. A very crafted and thoughtful write, well done.

So very true...

Obedience enables freedom, what a wonderful acrostic sonnet. It’s crafted by a master poet and highly intelligent in the message. Who could not be impressed with this? Bravo!
Love,

What a beautiful read this one is! I did not even realize this was an acrostic till I was reading through the other comments
That is great! I love this one, but then again, I love all that you write!
Best of luck in this contest!

Beautiful write, Allan. Wonderful flow and poetic form. The acrostic and sonnet combination is very cool. I liked the first three lines the best. It made me think of science and the concept of how everyone is connected on some level to everything else in the universe, sort of like a mass consciousness or something. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest.
