I choose all the hues

---I choose---
--All the hues--

-------original poetry-------

rainbow_rain_by_penguinlamp (1).jpg

I.

Leafing through the
Pamphlet of people---
I shall choose all the hues,
For repetition becomes monotonous.
|
Palace of living frescoes,
Our Earth-mother that dances rainbows
Trailing crystal aviation through
The orange atmosphere.
|
She brings me effortlessness,
And the Sky-father, vigor of transcendence.
Flesh cannot overtake our progeny:
We, the ether-born of Gaia
With stone wings.

II.

I see the ones half-sunken
(The forgetful ones, our sad siblings)
Into the tumbling quicksand, down-spiralling
Self-shrunken by faithlessness
Until they become sandseed.
|
Precious particulate:
Revived by the wand-touch of love,
Miracle of worlds-within-worlds, our
Brethren soar as sprouts
Formerly inert.
|
Humanity paws its sleepy eyelids,
Unthaws from hibernation's blizzard
Only to be paralyzed by astonishment
At new beauties now beheld.

This is a song for trembling, the frescoes remain in the walls, the brains fly on the wings of lead. Your depth estimates the right people, you support the development of society and the spirit of creative freedom. We fly in the new era of high technology and little spiritual consciousness, but you are there a poet of poetry that shows the true meaning and the way. -Thank you for all support, amazing poetry and honest friendship @d-pend

P.S.
I made this challenge to start poetry at a higher level, I do not know if you saw it, or my idea is not good. This is the link that I nominated you for my first day (you are my first on the list for all the principles of poetry)

Wow, I'm amazed. The vigor of transcendence. Transcendence means above all, not touch by the material nature and modes of ignorance, passion and virtue. It is optimistic and in the same time pessimistic performance of Mother Earth, Mankind and ether, the storage of all information ever created and those that will be created.
Spirituality touches the spirit actually the soul eternally connected and created by the Sky-father.
Many mixed emotion, many mixed views,..the world of black and white. There is never gray...

Thanks, @d-pend

I think you and @dobartim both are exceptional humans, with the gift of profound expression through the abstract, grasping the subtlety of paradox through the lens of wonder. Or I wonder are all Macedonians so perceptive? Surely not! Though forgive me if I am incorrectly assuming your nationality, it is a guess I make from knowing @dobartim...

I'm very grateful for your appreciation and great feedback @tatjanastan..!!

Yes, since 5 months ago when I joined Steemit, I made the promise to myself to write and post a poem every day that I could. It has been an amazing journey so far and I'm very grateful for all the support and excellent feedback I receive on a daily basis. Thanks for asking, and supporting my writing @fabiyamada!!

it's har for me to catch the sense sometimes because of the word choice, and because of the fact I amnot an English speaker, but I wanna get the point and I translate, so you bring new words to my passive vocabulary)

the pictures with rainbows are just like from my wall in the blog)

I am always impressed by those like you who make great attainments in English despite the fact it is not your mother tongue. In fact poetry in foreign languages is quite challenging! I have read some Octavio Paz in Spanish. He is a master of passionate expression in the abstract, always bordering on wonder, magic, and transcendence. It is excellent in English translation as well. What is your main language @taliakerch?

Russian) I was born here in the Crimea.
you're right, poetry in foreign language is veeery complicated) it's much more difficult than just to express some ideas in prose

Got it @taliakerch. That's what I thought but I didn't want to assume. Anyway maybe I will learn Russian someday! As for right now I know only English, Spanish, and a little bit of Japanese and Malayalam. Studying languages is awesome if you ask me :-D
