misshapen methods
of a deeper part,
a thought from word
inherit
leaves the silence of the mind,
in childhood you vowed to stand
apart,
become a separate species by behaviour,
absorbing light upon the tongue,
bringing radiance to your words,
as you became older
and voice shifts .
tonal extractions became thunder,
leading not following,
joined to your own convictions
no excuses,
you perpetrate
what convinces you as right,
becoming oblivious
to calls and rejections,
these methods are in play,
under the umbrella of a party,
you have made your stand,
and all before become dust

An appropriate piece in these political months. I can see leaders of both parties standing tall and believing such…and I am but the dust they leave… I think it was both unique and honorable how writers like Shakespeare where able to hide there politics in plain sight with their writing.

I love the way you use the words to convey a story so well
Good! Universal! Essential! Tight! (Sounds like my upcoming book “Birth, Death & InBetween”- just a different style.) Arlene

So true! I love the line, ‘what convinces you as right.’ Really nice piece, thanks for sharing.
