One last one

One human in a row of mannequins

One flying in a flock with broken wings

one anthem to purity

withstanding the scrutiny

the first draught from the well

the one book in my cell

one clearance to be

no appearance to keep

no pressure no fight

no anger no fright

simple yet moving

into the blooming

rinsing and soothing

warm and still cooling

embracing my patience

set but still rooting

modestly salient

the last one that's not looting.

I have to say I got a sense of the LOTR saying 'One ring...etc, etc' from this Justin.
Upon banishing that from my mind I then felt the speaker might well have been one of the original 'flower-power' generation - one of the 'gentle people' as mentioned in the song "Are you going to San Francisco'.
It imparts those feels of calm.
Nicely done!

Thanks!
I actually wrote this referring to one person who really fits these 'gentle people' you mentioned. Happy you enjoyed it!
