another poem for blog

finding time for what fits

locating the peices where more is laid to rest

and nothing more can be said

the remark that you can place

to find behind into the future

whatever we come to replace

ourselves lost in the distant beat

forever laid to rest, keeping

with ourselves and knowing the rules

whatever can be sent

inside what we lay claim to

something we've left off

distances coming to meet you

growing inside of what we have

to meet the method come again

we never thought the cause

could have been the new thing

laid to prevent something worse from happening

that we could have stayed

trying to find for the new sound

something around what we claimed

left behind for the future

what we had projected

could have been taken

on into the future,

what we knew,

found us what we keep

our founding fathers lain

keeping with the trust

and the people surrounding

the fact

we were

lain

Silas,

Your poetry is astounding! Very clever, and terrific use of philosophical imagery. Should you choose not to self-publish, I would suggest you find a publisher.
