Oddness

 Oddness

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

Your soul desires bioluminescence.

It is this oddness of the soul that brings

The shore’s envisaged rejuvenescence

And gives those ghosts, religions, glimmering wings.

A certain coolness comes.  A warmth would be

Too neighborly.  A calmness comes as mild

As firefly light in August woods.  Souls see

This with their inner eye.  This eye is wild,

Beyond control of laboratories filled

With slicing instruments.  This eye is more

A splicing spirit, more like dying twilled

With everlastingnesses made to soar.

  Your oddity is essence not apart

    From you but fashioned from a prophet’s heart.
