Missed Connections in Las Vegas

Salvador Dali
painted the sky
wry humor the passion that captures
the joy song of the universe
funnel the channel
sticky web
smoke rings
different kinds of mirrors
them that deceive
and them that reveal
the elegance of the rot below is that
it nourishes the verdant plumage above
the lotus is rooted in murky slime
and still remains
lotus
~ Susie Hewitt, that crazy Las Vegas poet
Her Two Cents
“…the lotus is rooted in murky slime and still remains lotus” is a wonderful metaphor for our innate human abilities to be beautiful, creative, passionate individuals regardless of what’s to be found in the dirt cellars of our past. The mirror you choose to use in viewing of the world will determine how you see it. Don’t agree with the picture it presents? Try another piece of glass and see what results it brings.
