Wary of writing inferior words
Birth to death, a mosaic of fear
The coloured tiles in between made of love
I live beneath my means to think clear
all to keep the curiosity near
The fight to keep the white purity alive
fuels the soul as all black desires tear
Truth in every breath, the vibgyor inner drive
Used the poetic form called Huitain.

Love the running mosaic imagery. Awesome poem!
Thank you so much. Glad you liked it 🙂
I wish I could think clear.
Begin with small steps. Wait for it to get compounded and in months you’ll see the change.
On a completely different note, this easily recalls to my mind Mahavishnu Orchestra’s album ‘The Inner Mounting Flame’. The similarity is not just peripheral in the titles; both works reflect turbulence powerfully albeit in different ways.
Damn, never heard of it. Will listen to it for sure. Sounds very interesting 🙂
That was a legendary jazz fusion supergroup of John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham, Jan Hammer, Jerry Goodman, Rick Laird initially as on this album but had quite a few personnel changes with McLaughlin being the stable element.
