“Poetic & Philosophical Interlude”
From The Blue Pearl by Kevin Boileau, Ph.D., J.D.
When it stopped making sense
I let go of my desire and opted
Instead
For virtue and truth
Pushing away the noise
That pulls.
Fragmented slivers of perception
One after the other
Continue pushing each other
away
So that vision of the Whole,
impossible.
Thus, I am at once both lost and
liberated; looking for signposts
Along the way
Which
Always seem heralded by the blue
Iridescence.
The dark penumbra of the walking
park remains forever etched in my
Consciousness. Unsure that I will
ever return to the shadows there,
I strain to recall her face
Calling.
Mother Death. Sweet and bitter,
Soft and genuine.
Always with me speaking the
Words; there is more; there is more.
Do not be enchanted into egology.
Abjection rules.
And all the while the tall, large frame
of admonition walks alongside.
“Couragio!”
The royalist inside falters as the
Governorship wanes.
Lost. Eroded. “Couragio!”
