Words- A collaboration

December 11, 2015 by forgottenmeadows 13 Comments

I pray 

that you don’t fall prey 

to the mind

of conscious thoughts 

without a conscience

I pray 

that you hear your heart,

beating right here,

inside you.

I pray

that in this words play

you stay a while

and listen. 

You can place a phrase here

Or a word there

Rather, anywhere

You so gracefully choose

The words play 

To your selected tune,

Thought conveyance

Made tangible

So like-minds

Can explore, and find

Your feelings and deeper meanings.

Through a few words

A verse can turn

From absurd

To superb, In turn

Shapeshifting perception

And the reader’s reality.

A whole new playground

Of letters illustrating

Mental calisthenics

Rendering doubt defunct,

An unparalleled transcendence

In knowledge,

Of the self.

This is the second of the five part collaboration between my friend Michael (originaldante.wordpress.com) and I. The first of these can be found here: emptiness – a collaboration .  Michael is an amazing writer and poet and I am honoured to have worked with him on these pieces. Regardless to say, I highly recommend his blog. Stay tuned for part three coming sometimes in the New Year! 🙂
