Simplicity

Missing image

Panacea pearls

strewn in sagacious strands

across the webs within the mind.

 

Weathering irony’s showers

feeling their droplets

clinging to the cerebral vines.

 

Inner eyes blurred to witness

from the spiders of light.

 

Always searching to interpret

enigma’s

black widow weave,

when it is truly a silky festoon

of epiphany’s arachnid.

 

Sometimes

truth is unadorned of threaded metaphor,

needing to be cherished

for its simplicity.

    The prompt and pen come together as gem that compliment each other.The reader is drawn to the mind where irony grows and witness the weave of thoughts to light. Metaphor sometimes noted as simple thoughts. This is a wonderful trip through the mind.
