Coral Reef

Portray.

Coral reef

The barrier requiring heart's key,

Refocusing a bargain of trade of sun rays

In return for warmth, life, and purpose

Put forth in spoken word in choreographed silhouettes.

Earth's beauty

And we'd believe in a higher being

Clasped firm

And grasped tight spiritually

Or I'd ask you to heal the city

Hugging your soul and spirit,

Ambivalent,

Tactics

Or Avidly manifesting intellectual magic,

Intimately,

Harnessing static electricity

We'd learn of uncertain

As Earth would interject a notion,

Moments

Emotion

Grace,

Grazed and sang hymns,

Rhythmic renunciation of attachment or craving,

Cultivation in wisdom,

Compassion and kindness in sweet refined physics

Practiced meditation

And rainbows would only uniquely speak to me in daydreams, beams, and holograms

Intertwined

Entangled

Spewed valiant appellations in paint splattering lessons,

Envisioning intuition of defined wise profits,

Who spoke of separatists

So I'd masquerade in camouflage and Leopard print

To project coexist and difference

As I'd walk amongst sheep as shepherds,

Property and matter

The sun would manifest through capacity in radiation,

A shade of Dark Olive and Amazon gratitude

Greener gradient grass

As the sun set over mathematics of Stonehenge

And sundials

Advocate

Realized clouds would only offer partial shade from the heat of the sun 

And in the heat of the moment

I'd grow angry

Or intelligent

Manufacturing patience,

Books, oars, and bridges.

And boats that lay afloat in belief

The buoyancy over coral reefs.

"Put forth in spoken word in choreographed silhouettes." While this piece made me pause, I could sense that the writer found peace and ease in nature. I thoroughly enjoyed how this poem allows the reader to stop and reflect about all of life's subtle beauties.

Definitely can't thank you enough for the kind words, Paige. An attempt to project thought provoking subjects.

[Nariko]

I could imagine a coral reef in an ocean next to a large city

[Coyote Poetry]

A amazing poem. Nature gave us things to protect us. The coral Reef is one of them. Many places the coral reef being destroyed. Artwork and words. Outstanding.

I appreciate it, Tony. I've done my job then.

[AYVID N]

A spiritual connection with Creation is equivalent to oneness with God. A realization of self and clarity of vision come easy on connecting with nature. I appreciate the awesome imagery and the powerful messages in the poem.

The words are so sweet and smooth. I don't know but you did it perfectly.

Sincerely,

[Ty]

Ah, described as 'smooth' and 'sweet', can't thank you enough!

[KWP]

A different view of reality - quite refreshing - you have all that we know there, juxtaposed with that we only skim the very surface of ... if only we tapped into the stuff we consider magic, perhaps that's where we will find our own answers X

[Ty]

I believe answers are at times directly in front of us. Definitely appreciate your dropping by.
