Ode--Sofi Tzouanakis

Ode to the Unspoken

If these words do not leave my lips
If one's thoughts do not channel through the filter
and if when I contest over which window opens and shuts;
then which way does the wind blow?

Lying down on quiet pastures,
I notice the dandelion.
Solitary, lonesome, though adorned in grace.
Insignificant outside the grassy knoll,
though I may recognize it's true and modest spirit.

Watchful, aware, I let the thoughts fossilize
as they wait in the purgatory 
between mind and the material.
