Demarco's Secret Poem by Joseph DeMarco

Energy Ions
Bounce
Balanced Between Behavior
Moods Mistaken
Synapses Struggle Silently
Woefully Waking Up
Could be Contagiously Contracted
Positive Power
Negative Neurons
Secrets Surface

As Aggravation is Alleviated
'It's all in your head.'
We Whisper Wonderfully
Stress Struggles
Forlorn and Forgotten
The answers aren't getting harder
The secret is simple
'It's all in your head.'


PEaRLS of WIsDOM-DeMarco's Secret-Part 2

I hide in my shell in the dark blue shade
under miles of refracting liquid glass
beneath an army of animals
a squad of sharks
guard me most closely

If you can find me
I might show you the pearls of wisdom
(The pearls are both respected and feared
on six continents and four oceans.)

They were lost not so long ago
probably around the time of the motorcar
They were accidentally thrown away
mistaken for old Christmas rubbish

It is these pearls before swine that give me my power
The lost secret, the found Atlantis
The more we rely on Technology
The further we get from the secret
The closer we come to eliminating ourselves

'Go back to the woods, '
You will find the secret there
It's in the dewdrops on wildflowers
It's in the sweet frosty air

'Go back to the ocean, '
The secret sleeps inside
In the holes in the reef
In the fall of the tide

You won't find the secret,
in a mall or a store
'Go back to the woods, '
to open the door
