ASSUMPTIONS

"Until we can understand
The assumptions in which we
Are drenched we cannot know
Ourselves"
Adrienne Rich

How shadowy and transient the
Human mind can become when
Answers are a darting star when
Disappears out the twinkling

Solar system--the mind simply
Swells up like a balloon at the
Inclination that clarity is an
Evasive coin--deception--

Deluding--flattering became the
Masks of horror which turn truths
Into ugly illusions--his thoughts
Turn to you--missing in action

The prison walls of faith yearn
To be released--it is true man
Has an invisible predisposition
Toward deception--but it is also

True that the heart armed with
Cheer and redemption will always
Walk from beneath the stormy
Clouds
