We Wisdom (The End Result)

Here is our poem...

Slip into my mind sometime
try it on for size
Albeit too big or too small
once worn you're twice wise

take the things you don't embrace
with a grain of salt
when you've stood within my shoes
you'll not covet fault

All the things you'll find here
may confuse or fascinate
so take a good, long look around,
there's lots to contemplate

Slip into my forlorn heart sometime
get lost in an emotions sublime
leave reality behind at the station
traveling the imagination in our elation

Great minds intwined in squalid thought
Gracious hands paw at rivers now caught
Breaking times never ending with knowledge
Ideas spring forth for the weak to pillage

You might not always understand
the power of your muse
at times you'll have to take a stand
you've got too much to lose

Slip into my mind sometimes
if to slip is to become uttered through inadvertence
If there is the slightest chance of freedom.
If free is fitness, the flecks of woven discovery
If free is that which is able to turn in any direction
If free is the long sleeve of better.
If free dissolves unforgiving under the tongue like a blessed wafer
which distinguishes and consecrates the real presence
from the frozen
If I can try on your head
If I can be you. Sometimes.

It will add another dimension
Give us depth of shared thought
A network of consciousness
Made whole by what we wrought

Writer's cafe is where
great minds meet
the talents of those
no one can defeat

our thoughts will meld together
behind wide open eyes
words of poetic fellowship
forever immortalized

I will slip into yours, as you slip into mine
let all the neurons intertwine
wisdom won is but half
to use it wisely is the catch

I'll shadow your thinking
and early morn dream
analyse your intention
your secretive scheme
I'll step into your mind
for a second - three or four
vanish or hover
in a tomorrow or more

I follow no rhyme or reason
lead by my desires
I hide in deceptions closet
left in loves disguise

Slip into my mind sometime
Try it for five
Albeit light or dark
Then writhe or thrive

An intellectual enterprise
Is what we're trying to build
Representing A clear defining moment
Forever linking countless, creative wordsmiths
For the sake of Wonderfully Evident written Wisdom (W.E. Wisdom)

Here, in this provacitive un-confining space
there is ample space to grow
Filled with pockets full of inner peace
and ideas sprouting, row on row

Walking barefoot and naked
Through the sands of time
Where all life is sacred
And earth is divine

Beginning the cycle around
eyes on the ground
I'll only take my coat
and my chances out of town

Watch for crooked sentries
Paid off with cheap bribes
Tricksters riding neurons
one word to the wise

When you are feeling alone
know that others care
Accept the love they have for you
End then your despair

Even brick houses have windows and doors
I leave mine closed but unlocked
so my dreams don't get a musty smell
and thoughts are free to wonder

Here you will find a symbolic union,
where art imitates life, and life is confusion.
Understand the differences, relish the unique--
sit down on these rocks and sip from this creek,
where knowledge is power, weilded with a pen
and no one by you and me knows where this will end...

"Walking barefoot and naked

And earth is divine "
Good to shred useless luggage and show the world who we are. A positive poem for life and writing. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

incredible. This turned out so well.

This was so wonderful and so very coheisive. I think each stanza truly stands on its own, and yet they mesh together like the brushstrokes of a painter's emotions on canvas. Enchanting idea and the execution was wonderful.

I can relate...I like when folks go out and write a good full on long poem and finish there thoughts like this

[kublakhan27]

Awesome work everybody...I've never seen a collaboration of this extent before :)

I love this KeelyJane. Sorry I came too late, but dashed an entry for this post. Don't forget me for next time. I only come to the site occasionally, but a little excitement like this can draw me back more often. I was one of the first on Writer's Cafe and survived the crash some years ago.

Slip into my mind sometime
taste a stew made of memories
saucy and severe, sweet and lovely
some buried, some shared
sprinkled with creative thought
angled and obtuse
inflated and reduced
stirred with soft emotions
love and pleasure without measure
splashed with spicy flavors
dabs of anger, pain, and hidden hurts
filled with wonder, filled with woe
hopes and dreams, plans and schemes
and with me wherever I go

I am sorry to have missed this as I have struggled this past week with RR's but it turned out well. One typo:
and no one by you and me knows where this will end... And no one but you?

So cool. This truly is poetic fellowship! Angi~

"There is gold in them thar hills!" Alas, we have a hard time getting fools to recognize the wealth is in sharing it and not in amassing it. Sorry I couldn't have been a part KJ, I have been busy and sorrily neglectful of my art and my friends on WC. Next time.
