      The Jade Sutras

      I. In Jade Relief Within verdant stillness, it breathes—exhalation of peace in stone.Silence carves itself into serenity,each line straightens to temporality. Eyes half-closed to becoming,he sees what cannot be unlearned:the world forever shaping itselfaround folded edges of release. Calm is not absence...

      • I can tell that trip had a deep impact on you. Love this 4-part piece of work.

      • Okay, you earned a “Wow!”. this is very good. The second one is my favorite, because it seems like the peak of them all.
        Even, the fourth reads like an epilogue, btw. Planned? A solid quartet of strong writing.
        Awesome crafting of words!

      • Beautifully penned, S. Excellent collection of poems my friend. Appreciate you.

      • Libellule, this poem is so artfully crafted and an exquisite blend of light, artistry and form. There s gentle flow here that felt like reflections on the art so gently scribed I could feel what you saw in an emotional way. Truly great poetry.

      • I can see why there is silence and then applause. It is poetic the way she decided to leave this earth the moment she arrived, but still, that is something. I like sending it to the senator, showing what happens to people with budget cuts to needed medications and research for a cure.

        • Thank you, Fia. It was a trip performing this, especially at the end. The first time I did it the crowd just sat there, silent. I thought, oh, fuck! I guess I’ll never do this one again. Then someone started to clap, then another, then everyone was applauding — but not very loud. And I understood.But that was a hellofa time, very scary, especially for the people who had been infected. A sure death penalty, very slowly.

      • I read this late last night and had to log off before I commented.
        This is intense. For as dark as it is it has a lot of intimacy.
        Through you the audience got to know her and in turn care about her.
        Bravo!👏

        • Thank you. I do appreciate the comment. I was in the middle of writing a message to you about “Pretty Eyes” when I got your notification.

      • A bit macabre, here. Quite appropriate for this time of year. Poe might be jealous. Very good writing, I’d say.
