Swim Away… #ThursdayDoors

Today I am channeling my inner mermaid. From the Florida logs I am sharing this door. She called to me from the shadows of a little curio shop. 

The second image is painted across an insignificant building in downtown Boquete, Panama. 

I think she makes it rather magnificent.

When the noises start to blare

and the empty faces stare

with soulless eyes

 that can’t disguise

the madness

inside

Exhausted from the trying

the senseless endless lying-

the clapping back

obvious lack

of reason

or rhyme

It’s time to cease your casting,

the swine are everlasting.

Gather your pearls

and leave the churls

still yapping,

snapping

Put them back inside the chest

and forgetting all the rest

join me below

where we will know

sweet repose

and close

the door

no more

discourse-

the force

of light

so bright!

calm,

balm

I think I’ll stay down here awhile. How about you? 

This, after too many attempts to express, reason and understand the incomprehensible this week.
