The perfect picture frame - A poem from the Settle Community
When your tongue salivates for a certain taste
and you're enhanced by a perfect picture frame
whilst your mind craves the omniscient truth
you're impelled to expand your flavoured taste aiming to reach for a dime untouched
so why do you refuse to change the guide?
Persisting in your quest for a heavenly plate
you smile though lovelorn ever since the delay.
Hungry for more and grateful to none
lost in a dull vacuous life or so it seems.
Eager to fulfil the demands of your tongue
testifying to an unusual taste
yet you refrain from changing your plate.
Has the bitterness convinced you?
Like grapes on the vine waiting for their time
to reach your mouldable mind only to convince you to sip and sigh as it may seem.
Look wisely at the perfect picture frame
for your philosophy provides a path that may prevail
stick to the gut that mumbles away
leading you to a cardinal place. The perfect picture frame has no weight for it is you the one who chooses to paints.
