Requiem For A Yellow Rose That Fell:

Like the last of the retributions,
False flowers have begun to fall,
However long their journey,
They were sure to always fall.

But O humans, let's rise,
Arise! No matter what the price,
We have a future to make,
The making of new dawns is at stake.

Above this world of illusion,
Where arts of devilry seem more profound,
Let us create a world so bright,
That it will blind the stars of the night,

Let's spurn the apparitions that lure,
Let us, each of us, refuse to fall.

My dreams will stop fading
As the daylight dims
Bowing to the twilight of dusk,
And my tired wandering soul
Will curl up,
Lulled to rest by twittering of the evening birds.

Dreams that once defied the darkness
Will shine again,
As the day recedes,
And prosaic thoughts
Of the dwindling day,
Shall thrust their way out of my brain,
Like soldiers marching one by one.

My body will languish once again,
In the cradle of the night,
My soul shall visit impossible realms
And the exquisite prisms of the universe,
Will reluctantly come to life,
Pushed by the thrust of the stygian night.

The silver orb in the sky,
Moves above the clouds,
Through translucent skies,
Dispassionately observing, Those weak of mind,
The impelled ones,
And the indolent,
Humans all.
Scurrying on the Earth below.

We, of the Rat Race,
Trudge along,
Beasts of burden,
Fodder for some,
Eking out roles assigned,
Of consumers and of those consumed,
Each a living breathing being,
Until it dies.

A patch of blue in the clouds,
Rests in the quiet evening air,
Sending peaceful bursts of gentle breeze,
To send ripples of color everywhere.

Forebodings:

Who taught you how to laugh?
Who taught you how to cry?
Who taught you how to walk?
Or the happiness that bubbles within?
Or the sadness that wells up unbidden?

Now I ask :

Who taught you how to hate?
And why?
To detest other humans for myriad reasons,
When not one of them is real.

Think! While there is still time.

Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu.

If you feel a smile begin,
Don’t leave it undetected.

Let’s start an epidemic quick,
And get the whole World infected!

Kernels of the evening:

FURROWING THE BROW-
(EXCERPTS)
~Joe Thompson

Whatever you do,
Don't feed the poet.
You don't even have to pay attention to their
rambling diatribes and self important pronouncements.

All you need to do is look up from your phone
Every now and then and furrow your brow.
A furrowed brow is actually quite a fashion statement.
A furrowed brow gives the illusion-

That you care about the effort that has been made.
That you have parsed the poet’s carefully curated collection of words and discovered a small kernel of truth,

Or the translucent shadow of a new idea.
Or a fresh perspective on an old idea.
Or perhaps an amusing juxtaposition of phrases and sentence fragments.

Trust me, it’s better than food to a poet.
It’s what they live for.
Just furrow your brow.
Then maybe they’ll shut up for a while. by @harishwings

"Before we were born, a whole society of storytellers was already here.

The storytellers who were here before us taught us how to be human."

They said if we faced our fears,
They would stop to appear.

It's been days and weeks,
And they're still here.

Maybe if we stopped making funny faces,
Would the fears completely disappear?
