Ceneri Scenery - Acrostic Sonnet St. Ceneri En Gerei Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Some sights delight, may best be seen with eyes
Tight shut, as if the naked Truth would bar
Commotion from self-vanquished Man, whose star's
Extinguished soon, trunk hewn. Whoever tries
Nature's primal patience, learns with surprise
Environmental forces, rooted far,
React to imbalance; Abuses jar.
Internal harmony disturb, defy
Eternal causal links. Yggdrasil, wise,
Needs counter excess, Nature's nenuphar
Guard, guide to blossom, spare, and never scar,
Evolution channel, catalyze,
Restore wholesome environment within,
Einar's, Einstein's, ecstasy could twin.

Some sights may best be seen with eyes
Tight shut, as if the Truth would bar
Commotion caused by Man, whose star's
Extinguished soon. Whoever tries
Nature's patience, to his surprise
Encounters forces rooted far.
Restive desires disturb and jar.
Internal harmony defies
External influence, and wise
Need [s]he be who the nenuphar.
Guards, guides to blossom, whose lodestar
Enlightened shines, who shuns disguise.
Review ambitions from within, -
Ecstasy, where wor(l) ds grow thin.
I pause to wonder, can find no rest…

ENTWOOD OUTPOST St. Ceneri en Gerei

Strange impressions spring some secret chord.
Transmit signals, too strong to be ignored,
Catalyse adrenalin outpoured.
Energy pulses spread sparks through blood, stored
No more. At full flood rush. Flushed sprit, awed,
Elaboration solicit. Chord cord,
Recall sap tapped umbilic'lly toward
Innate recollections sixth sense neurons hoard
Encapsulated. Channelled, re-explored,
Nature unlocks clandestine record:
Ghost timber tower block sun's beam stream. Sward
Echoes forgotten past, though fountain's ford
Rises sustained strong current, won't afford
Easy access into phantom forest.
Itinerant inklings, restless, crest.

ENTWOOD OUTPOST

Strange impressions touch hidden chord.
The signals, too strong to be ignored,
Catalyse adrenalin outpoured.
Energy pulses through blood, stored
No more. At full flood, sprit, awed,
Expectant awaits answers. Cord
Returns umbilically toward
Innate memories some neurons hoard
Encapsulated. Now, re-explored,
Nature unlocks a secret record.
Ghost timber tower block sun's beam stream. Sward
Echoes forgotten past, though fountain's ford
Rides no more the current to afford
Easy entry into phantom forest.
I wonder, shall soul find some rest?

AN OUTPOST OF ENTWOOD

Strange impressions touch a hidden chord.
The signals, too strong to be ignored,
Cajuse panic, adrenaline outpoured.
Energy pulses through the blood, stored
No more, at full flood. The spirit, awed,
Expectant awaits answers: a cord
Returns umbilically toward
Innate memories, in the mind's hoard
Encapsulated. Now, re-explored,
Nature unlocks a secret record.
Ghost timber towers over the stream. Sward
Echoes the Past, while the fountain's ford
Ride no more the current to afford
Easy entry into the phantom forest.
I pause to wonder, and yet can find no rest.
