Sanguine Lucidity

Sanguine Lucidity

A Poem by Wynter Ignatius
"

Random musings today...

"

Facing the adversity

with a righteous calm

to weather the storm boldly

no protection

outside your skin

listening to the whispers

obfuscated truths are revealed

silence a weapon of choice

yet sheathed

undrawn in anger or rage

but rather to parry attacks

feint the hated of others

attempts to damage calm

repugnance of incoming rounds

dodging with poise and grace

pulling no punches in defense

words like fist

against armors of fears

worn without shame

of wicked souls

demons of the flesh

chosen path to a light

actually the fires

of personal hells

wanting of light inside

the just and more pure

by darkening the skies

dragging the innocent

down to their level

failing to see

they lifting those can bring

if only they let go

but they just attack

crimson eyes stained

by evil begetting evil

standing firm

on shaky ground at best

no foundation to their tirade

swinging at the air between

missing to strike true

failing to see

the bigger picture

flailing without a plan

even if they would connect

spirited by a clarity

long left of the scene

Random musings lifting the ones who are fallen and connecting in clarity the ones who are stolen. You are swinging in the sir between the fallen calamities and the stolen moments. Bravo..............
