Flames & Souls

The sun has met the sea,
for souls to unravel, to lay eyes upon glory.
The tribunal is inundated;
favored but questioned;
we need for more.

We give glory souls, to tread cobblestones, conversing with lions.
We fly this night, restless but asleep, raging for answers.     The
earth filled with shrapnel: an evening of dying, repeated in majesty;
where fires flood loins, adrift a tragedy, to perish in ecstasy.

We’re frantic souls, threshed in turmoil,
but a seed upon a cloud.
The mind is legacy, as biblic as transcension.
We want
mother’s kiss—this journey through mind-terrain

as cogent as experience;
for something lives, to identify life, as mystical
as feltless winds;
to see beyond color,
the resonance of souls,
a center floating through
mirrors.

There’s a space, an unwarm segment, for furious growth.
Such is
tension,
to separate chaff, to winnow souls.

We’ve cried gravel, filled
with patience, to lead
for creative.
The future's aware, of
flame infusions, to swarm a soul:
felt inspirited,
for felt alive,
for a moment come sorrows.    
What
for this cycle—as acute as death,
an effusion drenching psyches?
