Truth: the Monster Under Our Bed
Excerpt from the poem
midnight in wonderland from the blog, Holistic Journey by Diana
“she archived her fears and
hopes in her kids, did
anyone hear the story
in between, did anyone look?”
I literally gasped as I read this and instinctively bent double wrapping my arms around myself, but alas, too late. “We are defenseless against truth camouflaged as art.” eileen
Excerpts from
–know? from the blog Holistic Journey by Diana
“Trees give up leaves like paper hopes
Swept into the sleepy season”
…….”We build skyscrapers and businesses and poems
And the tides rush up and claim
The sand castles of our dreams.”
Quote from Roland Barthe: “Truth resides not in the individual but in the chorus.”
I’d like to disagree with this quote, but as I’ve aged, I’ve learned we must listen to many diverse voices to get even a glimpse of truth.
