The Peel ...

Posted on Apr 21st, 2009 by Naumadd : Rationally Passionate Writer Naumadd

_______________


A people's spirit
or spirit of a single being
peels only just

to wonders
it will not suffer to see
to words
it will not suffer to speak
or to hear
to ecstasies
it will not suffer to feel
to hearts
it will not suffer to love

to lives
it will not suffer to live.

Masks of spirit
peel
some to fearful retreating thorn
others to milk and womb

bits of meat unwilling
or willing to suffer

... the peel.

This Poetry goes deep into the heart of the matter.  And is the spirit not, or has become, such a series of masks…peeling, peeling, seeing each layer unveil and arriving to that place where we either choose to retreat beneath the familiar shelter of the mask or see what rests beyond its’ barrier.

Blessings~
