Shedding the Mantle
"Mist in Heavenly Light" by Steve Yocum, Oregon USA.

Shedding the Mantle


Edging from the portal to the very plinth of sanity

Wending ways across the web amidst the spoken word,

Forging forth dexterity to clarity's dominion

In focusing the spotlight on all but the absurd.


To concentrate attention to a filigree of pigment

Is to re-collate the toning to an acceptable degree,

Avoiding condescension to the subject limitation

Allows the truth to permeate, surrendering to me.


Free now of the torment of a misconception's moment

Free now to attest to the pledge that makes it right,

Lost to all the lies and the desperate ambiguity

To soar in realization of this incandescent light.
