ICE : Ode to Self

I C E : Ode to Self

few Hearts can fancy dress their
nakedness in icicle Presence
fewer minds will slip into cemetery’s dusk
soul appears, no hectic heady harkening
glancing what is needed or already seeded
Insight measures wisdom, not cerebral chancing

silence answers chaos, no questions
faith penetratingly poetic deep
silver edged sheath transmuting bleeps
action cannot dreamscape when carriaged
Courage is coloured cloak comely
mission determines doubtless devic discipline

human evolution her equanimous earthy core
smoothly dictates exalted memory raw
as fear appears, a whispering whimpering head
she chooses Laurel-Hardy jovial jokes instead
body-mind will momentarily magically move
illusive graped grace to forth face, zero haste

she grooves all goals with hidden ace
defining own pinky pace, trusting Trinity true
gives mental and psychic lucidity a hue
E equals Endurance, persevering stormy hardships severe ever near, trials for miles
trancing transforms grovelling groundless guile

otherworldly veneer belies frothy fortitude
rhombus robust rectitude, steady steely solitude
Sun, opposite pole Lover adoringly advises
she embraces its Fire over chastising eyes
melting hade Himalayan I C E to glide
embalmed, charmed warmed waters calmed
