Description
By stillness of dusk
eyes meet horizon
witnessed, absorbed,
as the sun stretches and yawns,
reaching for new colors to wear..
borrowed threads
from an embrace of ancient trees
Branches and I are common,
limbs achingly outstretched,
wanting, both figurative and tangible
That infinite expanse of sky.
Bound by all earthen,
contemplate instead
the grounding of feet upon land
Rich, self-sustaining, ne'er dependant
save the pulsing desire
for synergy's replenishment.
One with the landscape,
pencil-sketched shades of grey
against the cloud-cloaked skies
of soul's winter
Existence's contradiction personified:
wanderlust beckons
its familiar, seductive lover's whisper
Echo of the river's meandering course
winding its way instead
through my veins
Daunted by rekindled lust,
a need for firm rooting
Planting, in itself,
an earth of contradiction
Exemplified mitosis of contemplation
Division born
of longing for the mundane
Yet tendrilled
with the shun of hemstitching
into shadow-boxed, shelved existence
of the wee-minded
Oh, dare refute
there to be comfort
in the soul's solitude
