Scratching the Surface

Each second threads through me,
Spiderwebs replace empty promises,
Of a perfect feeling fading fast,
Wish upon a galaxy,
Of hidden stars through the looking glass,
Your perception is so timely,
Comes raging through, selfish mass,
You were so beautiful, nothing on the surface lasts,
Man made distractions, what the flesh wants it usually gets,
The soul is untimely bottled, nowhere to go, darkness rests,
Joy breaks open, you can’t ignore, peace caress,
Hope is a wonderful thing, God’s hidden light filled bless,
Rhythmic patterns of a heart in tune,
Musically inclined faith sprung true,
Inner truth shatters doubt in question,
No more fear soaked indigestion,
Smiling as a tear rolls down,
Release the ties to this earthly ground,
You have only scratched the surface,
Healing begins with a righteous purpose.

Too many ideas here as though you opened a box of phrases and some Elmer's glue. Don't get me wrong, there are some great phrases, but the pretty language hides what you're talking about. Poetic language should reveal, not hide. Like wildflowers your words should be elegant - the true meaning of 'elegant' that is - simple and beautiful, not lavish and overblown. I see your work maturing here.

I like where your poems take me...thank you...*smiles*

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
