Atlas did a hand stand
and bullets whizzed past
Jesse Jackson's ears

Blood showed the way
to the polls and
all of it was red

The soft winds of
change blow quietly
and are often taken
for granted

Within is
heat held
that rises as
it expands and
widens, full of

surprises

Triggers pull
the plug on nature's
plea for patience

Motherly love
knows no bounds

Willing partners place
a peacock's fan over
coy smiles implied but
never stated

rocks rust over time

ringlets of age
curl around a singularity

particles of faith
trace geometric precision
into and out of time,
strands that
contain instructions for
life itself in
every dimension
when all is
in good health

and health

is
wealth

This is one a tha best I've read from you in awhile, G, (though I have been kinda absent)....and that's saying a lot for a poet like you.

You've inspired me to write something a little more political... I been writing too much about my own depression, and my poetry now seems to be only for myself, and nobody else. I've crossed the line between personal and private. That wasn't my goal when I first started out writing......thanks for kicking me back on track.

peace,
2th.

My favourite lines:
>
>Triggers pull
>the plug on nature's
>plea for patience

I think this piece is excellent. I love the politics of the poem and how they are written to be incisive but not overbearing. Also, I like the short line format, which lends some urgency and gives a more direct feel.

peace,
the Light
