Pearls and Silver

If the fallacy of thought

lies within the indifference

of a heart's indrawn

breath,

would there be a second

chance to mold a circle

from the intangible

fluid epic of dream?

 

Could so much blinding

light encompass the

derelict and the saved,

bathing all that is seen

in the breeze

of fairy wings that just

learned how to fly?

 

There are no shadows here

beneath a full moon of

illumination where

everything is cast into the

shade of pearls and silver,

one tinged with the sea,

another with air

 

At the core of a spiral

tree, in the hollow center

of a peach's eye

we could then look into

the unveiled truth of

Nature's simplicity,

separate the ********

from the poetry,

and the muse from the song

 

But if we're gathered here,

does that mean we're

about to meet our maker,

that this mystery of life

should be released in a sonnet

written through a fiberglass pen?

 

There are no strangers here

beneath the harsh glare

of a full moon,

where everything is reduced

to pearls and silver,

varying shades of pink

and gray

 

And if this litany is so

much scattered stardust

on the surface of an infinity

that can't be asked to care,

does it matter either way

if what we say is set

in stone or sand,

that our words remain

here as whispers caught in

the seashell of unending time?

 

Because there are no

secrets here beneath the

illumination of a

full-bodied moon

We are all children playing

amongst pearls and silver,

not knowing yet that our

trinkets have worth

 

We are still innocent

to war and strife and grief

So let us toss up our

circles of pearls,

let us trod over these

streets of silver,

let us gather here once more

before Eden fades into

the dark side of the moon...
