Neglected
Observations have become second nature
It wears on my conscience to consume it
Soft rain falling inside this spiritual theater
Why is it you doubt these words I commit?
Promises are best kept with everlasting love
The raven has become smitten with the dove
Balance is found on a road where wisdom lies
Before this spiderweb snares unknowing flies
Sacrifices are required to dine at their table
Wealth is only a formality in being accepted
Unlocking darkness inside this twisted fable
Is to be content while often being neglected

Late night musing. Just spitballing a couple of theories, testing uncharted territory. Sometimes I just go with it, folks. Appreciate you.

so much you say & touch upon .. the truth.. the way that just the loud words n eyes mislead yet still they are as if the societal glimmery norms in acceptance .. in grandeur nod to the lies .. over the felt truth, which us more the pains & sacrifices. Neglected be it.. in the course of unlocking realising the truth, rather the crowing lies.. truth is soul’s expression & need not be fior any impression .. just me from your superb pithy philosophical truth here Damian.. xx

Dear DL,
I enjoyed this deep dive into an abyss of thoughts and wisdom. I had to read it twice to hear the oracle speak. In so doing there was greater personal meaning. “Balance is found on a road where wisdom lies” B-rill-iant!!

"Soft rain falling inside this spiritual theater"
That line has me enthralled. I think of rain as nourishment for growth. Too much or too hard & the deluge can muddy or destroy but soft rain is perfect. And the spiritual theater...amazing. This entire poem is a brilliant piece of musing. That line though, I live right there. If I had a hat, it would come off to this one

The spitball in baseball has a lot of transference to life we are about to see in America. It won't be pretty. Illegal at best.
Frightening at the worst.
Keep slugging Damian
BIG LIKE

I hear that. Gaylord Perry, scares me less than future leadership. Or lack there of. lol. But I get where you were going. Of course I was never in the batters box against, Perry. I might think differently had I been. Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Speak. Appreciate you.

This has me thinking that your flow is so well thought out. The crow and the dove really is good how you put to symbols of massagers out. Dove is love and Crow warning. I like this

Again, great job in your presentation. I like the theme of this, because it can be interpretated as a need for meekness. Sometimes, you do have to be careful in all that you do and say around certain people, because they can and will become jealous, covetous, or envious, especially if it's a competition of intellect, pride, and/or ego. That's kind of what I pick up from this, heh. It's like you've been through the motions of logic and definition, and applying it to emotion and expression, but there is always someone out there looking to trip you up, and sometimes, it's just best to just be quiet, and endure through tough and challenging times. In knowing that you know you're smart, but people always pointing a finger and trying to find flaw, can be a big-time struggle, especially for artists. I can definitely relate, heh. Anyway, that's just some of what I picked up on in this. Maybe I'm just vainly reflecting my own struggle, heh. Thanks for sharing. To the list it goes!

hello dearest Damian I like the way your mind works though I don't always understand it's depths perhaps that is the disconnect or neglect obviously you are appreciated by your peers I wonder if you're always understood that feeling gets me...deep thoughts 💕

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Crimsin. All my writes are therapeutic to me. I have so many thoughts and questions, that I tinker with. Some I find answers for, some are works in progress. Some require a leap of faith. But there is always a spiritual vibe. Basically my mind never stops thinking, I write to keep my sanity more than anything. Sorry, for the tangent. I'm glad you enjoyed the write. Appreciate you.
