~SURFS THE FALCON ~
{solitary man}
Sometimes it is in you,
An inkling
Where the search begins,
Where the emptiness overwhelms...
We are often made to feel
That there exists another chance
Or some new tolling of the bells,
Where a separate reality
Can help us to redefine,
That
Which we already know
So well...
Can you cover me in cannabis,
Smoke my soul
In a Cherokee covered hell?
Then, roll my imagination
In a magnetic moonglow,
Alter my state of consciousness
So the star constellations
Of my inner universe
All align themselves,
That I might remain upright
Because,
Sometimes my true self
Dares to elude
My ability to comprehend
That,
Which so many others
Seemingly,
Take for granted...
Am I a solitary man?
Secluded within myself?
Destined,
To remain forever
The Falcon,
Surfing the thermals,
Ever
The observer,
With no safe place,
To land...
Tony Taylor

hay Tony wonderful poem
wow Tony wondefrful
Tony, a wonderful read from its moralistic beginning to its most revealing and devastating ending.
And how right you are, for it all starts with an inkling and your captivating poem portray brilliantly those soul-searching moments, those fundamental questions we choose to ask ourselves.
What the sought after answers are for each individual, who really knows, but time, fate and God.
Superbly written as always my poetry brother in idioms and their well placed designations, all neatly woven and perfectly dove tailed together for another great display and soul searching read.
Superb and not a poetry wrong or out of place.
I wish you well my poetry friend and brother and you are a true standalone when it comes to delivering the affairs of one's heart.
once prepared, you will find that soft place to land! may the wind always be at your back! your poems are always a delightful breeze!.....your brother!..........Jim
Another piece of art! Nice work Tony.
With no place to land. This hits home.
