If someone is not as he should be
He develops
The reverse Midas Touch
Under heaven
Thunder rolls
Thus the old kings
Fostered everything
With a heartbeat
We cannot lose
What really belongs to us
Even when we throw it away
The gathering winds
Blow through my heart
Reverberating in the echo chamber
Of regret.

This poem really hit me. Thanks for being such a deep thinker and thoughtful person.

Thanks you for that. I wasn't sure about this poem. . .it's a little jagged and a little *ahem* all over the map, but then I started thinking of it more as a sort-of tone poem or just a plain but meandering bit of poesy, painted in blue and grey scumbles on a canvas I bought at the Salvation Army store. Where did that come from?! Anyhow, Anonymous, thanks... .
