Would thou offer but a brief respite? Even under temporary conditions, Is not a moment still a moment? If that is all thee have To hold onto, Would not that count just the same? Many times thy gaze lay disturbed, Troubled by unconscious thought And of toils too many to tame Rest seems an unattainable thing Yet the power lies ever Just below the surface within Thy peace and comfort Used to be held steadfast But before your eyes, slipped away Taken on the wind with incense Borne of sleepless offerings, And onto wishes of another day Thou art the catalyst for inspiration For even a moment, if not eternal Thus the words, a seductive proliferation Given the choice between The hardness of unfinished stone Sought for most rare and coveted value, And softness as the sky itself, Thee would be all of this Polished lovingly a softer shade of blue |
