He and i

A song about soul.......

 

Thoughts that linger

Sordid tales

Vibrant life

Behind the veil

 

Broken promise

Flagrant lies

Muffled voices

Crimson sky

 

Behind me now

No recompense

So grateful

I could jump the fence

 

Softer blues

Feeble wails

Aging child

Love prevails

 

I’ve been in churches

Seeking soul

Just not wired

To fit that mold

 

Simple oneness

He and i

Strangest places

Knowing eyes

This very thought-provoking and the structure is perfect, I admire your choice of words.
One of the many reasons I respect you as a writer is your ability to convey such powerful thoughts with few words.
Excellent write!

Great job bill, I can realy relate to this one. The flow is very nicely paced. Sounds to me like a folksy blues joint.

[Wildfleour]

I can so relate to this poem. Just substitute the word "church" with "temple".

Well-penned, Bill.
