Finding what we hold
onto, a place
ever flowing
subtly changing
Watching
day unfold
from night
Our threads
awaken
into cloth
The unseen
universe within
reveals simply
its complexity,
intricacy,
infinite superiority
To be imprinted uniquely
on time
Time as is moved
by design
I.
Others step over roots
revealing years gone wandering
Times broken, threads cut -
hope suspended in a shadow
Here towering jagged edges
rise up in silent welcome;
an uncertain valley's snow-covered gate
Daring to enter once again
through valley's depth unknown,
stormy skies shift
Warm winds carry whispered hopes
back home
II.
Seeing past the sea,
a patternless quest
Past the sea of chilly faces
seeing past me
far from gentleness
Regret cannot linger where
rays stream in
Between thin aqua panels
fertile hopes filter
disappointment
