Mystery

outside
a gentle rain
has washed the soil
from the sky

settling
the dust into
tiny pools of reflection
mirrored misdirection
of summer’s hours
by

figments
on the patio
tall-legged chairs
and down

giving
a resemblance
of a whole world
in one
town

radii
of north and south
bipolar in their
pause

sleepy
hours of morning
intangible of
laws

ethereal
in their nature
the visions that I
see

explaining
them succinctly
is a task of nth
degree

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I tried to pick a certain phrase or tilt of word here that I could say I enjoyed the most. A futile effort. The whole poem is wonderful.

Happy you like this one, thanks for reading. There's something about it that hangs on to me, but its meaning's a mystery other than being snippets of the view I saw from inside my patio door.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
