intuitions rise

 i do not know how intuitions rise
in other people whom i have not met
so many things i work hard to forget
keep out of sight and learn how to despise
but not so much as those who would apprise
all of the folk who would take up the bet
and then run off before the yolk had set
such sights do not soon come before your eyes
yet if not known the emblems yet unseen
have to be built up in the waiting mind
by those who learn to speak in sacred voices
of all the massive powers that have yet been
in all those places where they were confined
and how though in deep pain mankind rejoices

the truest beauty

 

what time we give to echoes from the heart
is taken from the horrors of the dark
the truest beauty is the sign of art

life gives us signs of sorrow from the start
but we can't know this just as we embark
what time we give to echoes from the heart

what is divine comes from what we impart
laying our course between the rat and shark
the truest beauty is the sign of art

another sigil sold in open mart
will indicate that some things are not stark
what time we give to echoes from the heart

a record that's been kept in place apart
contains the hope that's in a chance remark
the truest beauty is the sign of art

not for these efforts are we accounted smart
but that we raised in you the greatest spark
what time we give to echoes from the heart
the truest beauty is the sign of art
