The Poet’s Silence

There is no truth in poetic platitudes 
No Goddess or Muse awaiting the poet's
Silence

The is no truth between the stars
No path set straight or
Unaligned

There is no truth beneath silver skies
No earthen land to enrich a broken
Mind

There is no truth in barren soil
No strong roots supporting leafy
Oaks

There is no truth in roots growing
No foundation for a mindful life
Propaganda

There is no truth in dusty books
No pattern of prosperity for its
Following

The is no truth in common tongue
No metaphors fit for the gathering
Crowd

There is no truth in poetic platitudes
No Goddess or Muse awaiting the poet's

Silence
