MSB, here are a few words for a hectic day. By Dexx.
_______________________________________________

I search for meaning, pursuing truth...
The answers, once, I knew.

I miss the bliss, found in my youth...
Simplicity is true.

Work, work, work, do all I can...
Each day complexity.

As I pursue my Midas plan...
I run away from me.

Oh, please, please let me find a stone...
So I can trip and fall.

Then I'll be forced to contemplate...
The meaning of it all.

Perhaps while dusting off my pants...
I'll stop to smell the flowers.

And maybe play among the ants...
While minutes turn to hours.

I hope I learn a lesson then...
I hope I change my plan.

So I can be a child again...
A youth within a man.

Success in life is not the chase...
To catch the money tree.

I want to live at Nature's pace...
And find a friend, in me.

Dexx

Conflict

Distant and obscure
a subtle whisper of breeze
illusively restrained
awaited the moment
to whip unmercifully
vulnerable waters
into frenzied confrontation.

The storm quelled
recluse emotions emerge
to pay homage
to hypnotic images
of negativity
while unconscious partisans
guard against reality.

In the aftermath.....
superficial calm
a cease-fire of wills
side stepping apologetic defeat
whithout compromising victory
yet underlying tensions remain
alert to the unforgotten battle.

Nakia 1988
