Poem, Emotions Shunted, 10-4-2011

To question is natural,
to doubt is more learned.
To ponder brings joy
which is given not earned.

To love is divine
radiant by play
on light and geometry
a hidden display
of brilliance and glory
in each one of us,
waiting to burst out
an infinte rush
of pleasure, allowance,
acceptance and strength,
eclipsing the darker
of areas bent,
by destructive, insensitive,
outbursts and stunted
by drama and power
plays emotions shunted.

Advances by ruthless
foray of love.
Care and submission
given as bail
to free one from scrutiny
thin is the veil
of Oneness, compassion,
care and attrition
billows from wounds
opened by kindness
seen for its beauty
removal of blindness. --EVE Featherstone
