    The Book of Lost Thieves

     The wind blown ice-lit rolling on
    A sea of dark white, blue and undulating
    The sum of all fortunes comes to clues
    Traces pasted anciently
    A scrawled phrase tapped
    A group sets out unbound
    For last is when we see star's light
    The tempest churning slows at long
    The gradual of sands in glass
    Passing astral deviation
    Impassioned lashing at the mass
    Entombed in living wire connected
    After cause that walls collapse
    The numbed encumbered rise from backs
    A seperate world that flashes fact
    When pushed, pursued, we laugh, we act.

    I've read several of your poems, all intense, word selection is brilliant and delivery is from the divine. :)

    I liked the rhythm of this. Reminded me of the staccato rhyming of hopkins. Took several readings and each one was intriguing. Nice work. Thanks!

    Thanks again lc, I almost feel as if this is not quite finished, but it was written spontaneously, so I was hesitant to risk diluting that energy. I will be reading Hopkins this week!

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
