the sun-fired clouds
cannot consume
the cool-blue slivers
of tonight’s sky

as nameless colors
dance to the rhythm
of fire and ice
in twilight’s silent waltz

just as many truths
are left unuttered
their presence being felt
but obscured by words

There's an elephant
in the boardroom
here's the scapegoat.......
in the tearoom.

The armour's tight.
A shield against
emotion.
A shield against
commitment.
Better to bury your head,
avoiding confrontation
than to be honest instead.

What's before us
is quite enough
why look over the fence
seeking an unknown stuff?

here is the supreme test
though it's rough and tough
when self has overcome itself
it leaves no gulf.
