Words are such powerful things – especially when you’re not finding the right ones…
Alchemy of Words by Michael Romani Standing just before the threshold Hand to heart then hand to ground At peace as each journey unfolds I reverently embrace all truth found All of the ideas collided into All of the respective points of view Brings the voyager new information Transformative in its felt vibration It is visceral in it transparency How words change lives with their energy Sometimes just in the difference of feeling Over the spun reality often double dealing As we reach for that which is real Over that sold as real but is surreal Orwellian double speak spoken with hesitancy That seeks to confuse our experience with its alchemy I, for one, find reliance on my senses Has often been more fruitful than the pretenses Of things meaning what they don't mean And seeing the emperor's clothing for what is seen All of my best connections strained on a golden chord These are too often dangling under Damocles' sword Of words that pierce with their pulsating light Striking my core with thoughts sometimes too bright As to almost blind my eyes with their truth Filled with ideas that have resonated since my youth Passing through the many paths of wisdom's gateways Constantly unwrapping to be lived throughout my days (c) February 25, 2020 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
