(T. Beechey)

Lifting hands towards the shifting sands
The granules scatter in directions unseen
Creating patterns whose meager demands
Are to be read by an eye that is keen

An eye that senses what is hidden from viewing
Only unveiled unto those whom seek
The solutions to queries which cause the undoing
Of times which never attain their peak

An eye which knows the tales before telling
The morals to stories still yet untold
And the circumstances behind the selling
Of a sainted soul for merely fool's gold

An eye from which pours forth expression
Upon witnessing the trials of us all
Capturing the stilled,unspoken confession
Of the voices too shamed or brazen to call

But so few possess an eye of such splendor
Hence the patterns emerge imagined,unreal
And those hands become brittled and tender
Listlessly dropping to laps which conceal [comments] => 1 [counter] => 208 [topic] => 40 [informant] => trivking64 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 11 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => fantasy )

THE FANTASY OF REALITY

An eye that senses what is hidden from viewing

Of times which never attain their peak

An eye which knows the tales before telling

But so few possess an eye of such splendor
Hence the patterns emerge imagined,unreal
And those hands become brittled and tender
Listlessly dropping to laps which conceal

This is an impressive piece of work. Was it difficult or did it practically write itself? I'll tell you why I ask, because it reminds me of the times when the words come so fast you can hardly get them down and when you are done, you are amazed and say "where did that come from?" It's a wonderful write.
