Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Increasing flame!

We've got to let it go.
We've got to let it go.
...

If you're deep up in it,
It's all good.
And every minute that you give it,
It's all good.
...

On my way to feeling lost and blue...
I remembered what you said,
About inviting dread.
...

People have become too complacent.
With a caring not to listen.
Or a caring done to comprehend!
Believing a sleepwalk exercised...
...

You seek direction!
That's what you claim to need.
And you want to stay clear...
Of a negativity that teases and schemes.
...

It is all in the open now!
And I hope you are not feeling,
Too ridiculous.
...

If you allow yourself to set high standards...
For yourself!
No one else.
Just yourself.
...

To become fully awakened,
By consciousness...
Is a dangerous journey,
For anyone who begins their first steps...
...

Be not dismayed about your setbacks.
Or your lack of control when they seem to latch.
Avoid any re-enactments,
That attempt to saddle.
...

I am the first born.
My journey into the real world,
Had an entirely different perspective.
The value of experimentation,
...
