Under The Influence

 

Streaks of yellow

Paint the moonless night.

Those with faith

See angels leaving trails,

Those without

Imagine harmful chemicals

In the air.

Perception is not deception,

Rather a matter of the heart.

I would rather see angels streaking than chem trails. Those last lines stuck with me, Dale. Thanks for re posting

I never thought of angels leaving trails, but of course that's what it is...


Illusions are real somewhere...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Very true... thank you.

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

I like how you eloquently contrasted two different viewpoints- with provoking imagery -in this short little poem.

And your last two lines are definitely food for thought.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much. I love to feed the mind.

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goes Cascading!)]

My pleasure.

[Frieda P]

Usually when I"ve seen angels I've had too many harmful chemicals...namely vodka!

Seriously, I love this one Dale.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Lol... That is called hazy perception... Thank you.

[Frieda P]

:-P

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Lovely write like the glass half empty , perception all it is !

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You got that right.

[Holly Mason]

perception is not deception-our heart sees what it wants to see with a light touch and angels leaving trails
a good influence to be under dreamy and serene
thank you for sharing

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much.

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

So true, wonderfully written! Great write, Cowboy!

[Helen Woodward]

It certainly is! It is also a kind of sixth sense that tells us about that which we can't see. 'Angels leaving trails'...nice thought, I believe you :-))

Blessssssssssssssssss
