Piety And Sublimity | Searching For Meaning

by Samuel De Lemos

Piety and sublimity
Intertwined along well
Worn rocky roads.

Strength discernible
Only through avant-garde
Lenses.

Artificial warmth that
Radiates through
wood paneled floors;

While roses are handed
Out through
Outstretched arms,

All
Connected to the heart,
Flowers, limbs and love.

One beating heart
Where solitude,
the essence
Of contemplation,

Is a wilderness fraught with
judgments, perspectives and
Longing.

The longing to be human,
to reach understanding
in a world

Full of emptiness,
A world full of discoveries,
A world full of losses.
