does the record of my existence
continually skip a beat,
jump a line?

do I need to
“modern it up” a bit
c.d. it, dvd it?

how might I keep
the hiccoughs from forming,
from obliterating
the rhyme,
the scheme,
the plot of my destiny?

what translucent arc
paints my backdrop,
trims my blessings,
coats my promises
with serenity?

what beauty
brings the “Monet”
style of vision
to the reality of my world?

is there not
some form of effervescence
in the blurring?

must clarity
erase the softness
with its hard edges?

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

Clarity can also paint soft edges.
Well done, enjoyed

Thank you, Both! And Inclan...I must copy your replies and paste them with the copy of my poem in my folder. Perfect responses, surely!

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