The moral made plain [Day 12]

The moral made plain

original poetry & photomanipulation

---

---

This reality is all edges:
& wrinkles like mirages seen
On the cusp of death in the desert.

The gem hawk circles and the hunter,
Robes donned, with up-sleeved guile,
Nocks an arrow to slay the last trace
Of divinity and devour its husk.

In fiendish rhythms,
Oh how the paradise fades!
Just so—as the chill of evening
Descends upon the sands, mottled dusk,
Advancing its umbrage over the baked plateau
Seems to nod its resignation with eyelids twitching.

                    (The acceptance of a phase alchemical is
                    The discrepancy between a demigod & the mortal.
                    The latter is convinced of the existence of evil
                    While the former sees only energy in formations.)

Every poet is a translator, who takes incomprehensible ramblings of the Muse and translates them into a language that can be understood by his audience.
Of course we are not able to experience what you undergo in your interactions with the Muse... as a Russian poet said: ''A thought once uttered is untrue.'' That's why the images are so important, d-pend, - they let us see with your eyes for this short magical period of time of reading your poem. Thank you for letting us enter your inner world even deeper!

I have to admit I prefer reading poems over poetry contest updates although both are important @d-pend. I'm falling to pieces... Maybe because it is Monday. One girl just left in the middle of class. My son doesn't know his own strength and now my nose is swollen. Again my daily life is like a roller coaster but when I read your poem I am at the pinnacle, that point where all seems still. I have never been in the desert but in college took a strong interest in rock formation and sedimentation. Your words have a powerful influence on me and I appreciate your effort. I have to get back to my class now :)

A wonderfully and I mean truly wonderfully constructed piece. No word misplaced or lacking in meaning. Bravo, Daniel:)

I love this line, what if there is nothing like evil?.. Beautifully written, @d-pend

I love the message and this verse captures me.

Advancing its umbrage over the baked plateau

Great words with accordance of the pictures and true, when we watch an picture we try to watch the reality in it and after watching the pictures of nature and it will take us to more spiritual journey where we really want to feel the beautiful and natural world where we can feel the essence of sand to sky and where everything have the essence of spirituality. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

SteemitSchool must take most of your time, because you don't make any explanation or fohehistory for your poems, and no sound record either-(
I was fond of listening and reading them because it gave more possibilities to "touch" your wave of creativity.
