In the mainstream
fish fries hatch in still waters
the salmon takes on its classic coat
subjected to current flux like classic floats

A show of wills..transports its masters
who will arrive, the sooner or faster
from the corners of the earth, all laden with gifts
and a star that shone bright and had me miffed

test of skills..determined wills
ones made to sign, to ethereal designs

A moment of will, a test of strength
wake up my darlings before its too late
from the boredom that surrounds city dwellers
to the movement in traffic all helter-skelter

Directed lives to a chosen path
remembered the initiated chosen swath,
Is it a ramdom assortment of causes without ends
and a laisser-faire attitude that makes no amends?

show of wills, directed skills
sharpened wits emerge from pits
floated in the mainstream, on a rapid course
arguments raised till voices grow hoarse:

"who will arrive sooner or later
is diminished in size
or made much greater".

As always you speak in riddles of life that are worth fishing for and getting hooked on.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Dear riddle master, you be not one with a laisser-faire attitude!

Passing

I have to admit though this one came in stages, and most should I think from now on..
it's amazing what the mind knows it has to put down but is not ready to do so at first and then there is another burst of creativity..enjoy
