POEMS WITH REAL MESSAGES

ROAD TO DISCOVERY: my search for a true voice

PRELUDE

From where I stand the world is in color and shadows

Of bright lights and grotesque interludes

And my mind flourishes in the vine

Of thoughts burdened by the thorns of fate

What I see I cannot say

For shadows do not speak audibly

And the motions are broken

Haunted by shades of doubt and fear

I am my own vantage-point

My own prophetic harbinger

For what I see I do not like

And what to speak I know naught of...
