Trivial Influence
Unsettling are these remote misgivings
Like parched bosoms, gushing emptiness
Casting stones at careless despondency
Hence, voices chasten hearts that wither
Untamed faithfuls confide in their dogma
Abiding to a will that refuses to succumb
Frolic hordes of vile skeptics are burdened
Dreadfully subdued by mournful prudence
At the forefront lies unwearied desolation
Quietly withering among shades of despair
Bonded by the shackles of waning thoughts
While skillful deterrents roam from within
Shadowed are some, cast out by obedience
Unbecoming of those who defend a purpose
Discerning motives drown in their stringency
Faltered by the amenity of trivial influence
Like parched bosoms, gushing emptiness
Casting stones at careless despondency
Hence, voices chasten hearts that wither
Untamed faithfuls confide in their dogma
Abiding to a will that refuses to succumb
Frolic hordes of vile skeptics are burdened
Dreadfully subdued by mournful prudence
At the forefront lies unwearied desolation
Quietly withering among shades of despair
Bonded by the shackles of waning thoughts
While skillful deterrents roam from within
Shadowed are some, cast out by obedience
Unbecoming of those who defend a purpose
Discerning motives drown in their stringency
Faltered by the amenity of trivial influence

My Friend,
Your unique gift of expression is so very thought-provoking....challenging your readers to delve deep within the meaning(s)contained, both, within, and 'between' these lines.
...And for me, one of the messages that manifests, within this piece, is this: Only unto one's self should alliance, loyalty, and truth be granted...be practiced, and believed.
Otherwise, all that eventually becomes the 'trivial influence' shall be that, which inevitably destroys our inner-strength...our self-worth...and in the end.....our very soul.
(Just how this poem affected me, is all)
But most definitely, one to be added to my reading list...to be read, and re-read--time, and time again....with sooo many exceptional points to ponder!
Well scribed!

Dear DE,
I'm incredibly touched by both your compliments and impressions. Your personal assessment is an enviable interpretation that is thought-provoking in-and-of-itself! I'm amazed at what you've been able to extract from this. You have a perfect grasp of what I seek to accomplish when I write.
Your ability to decipher is impressive. Thank you for dropping by and being such an expressive pen! Justin
