Tomorrow
Svelte, soft and solid wings
Sing the fluid song of freedom
Over this degenerate congregation
A powerful noise, but not a law, nor
ownership
I am the river
And the shadowed wings above it
Morphing as a cloud
Cleansing and clearing all
Damning up the toxic debris
Of desperate foibles, lazy lies
Storied eyes of paranoia, hatred and
boredom
In the distance I hear a nightbird
Her notes are timely and clear
Whispered over wild rose and
honeysuckle
Harmonized with truth and charity and
tolerance
And with her, every breeze
Is singing Tomorrow
Sing the fluid song of freedom
Over this degenerate congregation
A powerful noise, but not a law, nor
ownership
I am the river
And the shadowed wings above it
Morphing as a cloud
Cleansing and clearing all
Damning up the toxic debris
Of desperate foibles, lazy lies
Storied eyes of paranoia, hatred and
boredom
In the distance I hear a nightbird
Her notes are timely and clear
Whispered over wild rose and
honeysuckle
Harmonized with truth and charity and
tolerance
And with her, every breeze
Is singing Tomorrow
Author's Note
This sounds more than slightly pompous, but I was listening to someone I admire today talk about the power of words. I was feeling that rush of the poet as they sculpt emotions. I'm feeling boxed in and trying to walk with power.

Re. Tomorrow
It's a lovely write. The nightbird really brings hope, I feel.
Has echos of B.P's 'Lazy River' poem about it.

"Over this degenerate congregation." This line speaks loud and clear, but I bet it remains unheard in the congregation. Stay true.

Thank you for that beautiful compliment. It is so heartwarming, and keeps me engaged in my writing when I see I'm not just doing it for myself, but the lovely, enormously talented poets here. I can't thank you enough for the read and the RL and I can't wait to get more acquainted with each others work. All love and light to you as well,

Well if this is what you feel like boxed in, I am waiting to see you break free. Been trying to get to some of your older works.
