Of Souls And Shoals

We fabricate a life of meaning
Often through a life of scheming
Make the dust and grime a shoal
And often temple it a soul

It glows just like a firefly
And thinks that it will never die.
A shadow of a fantasy
Of agony and ecstasy.

And I in thought will often smile
In the humor of the wile.
For I hear laughter in the rhyme
In the echoing of time.

We of the moment only know
A single lap a single flow
Rise to a rise of instant high
And think we are where essence lie.

The ages lap upon the shore
Ever circling evermore
And dust and grime that is its soul
Laps upon a would be shoal.

We are in essence a state of more
A procession of the evermore.

wisdom kissed words from a very wise poet ...

Sprayed across my heart and hers
Danced butterflies in the wild
This angel, this woman ,
who loves me with the innocence of a child.
