Is our itinerary in life deliberate?
Or is an Olympic gambler, ripping us off
Through a deeper justice, unchanging procedures
Calculating wounds, a pioneer off balance

Living in the not to distant future
Wandering footprints return with rejection slips
Lost footings could not pass, disheartened & grumbling
They fall into a karmic offering

Innocently toxic
Possibility winks to the voice of
Strangers…strangers we should know!
Genesis of a legend, blind man’s bluff
Takes a plunge, into acoustical signals

Low tides at the marina eavesdrop
Revealing absentminded Tahitian pawnshops
Trading our bed of tropical green
Enveloping the ability to see through glass
The all inclusive package

A lover’s dream never drains
Summer will come hither
Compromising national security
Specific missions needing time and circumstance
Waiting for nothing, our vision enhanced

I'm popping this one into my library also!
Hugs to you m'friend.

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

"Waiting for nothing, our vision enhanced"

This expressed my feeling of futility today.

A very intelligent exploration of life in this'n, Lee.

Enjoyed.

I had visions of Greek Gods and Goddess' controlling the seas and earth and our fate... Maybe it was brought about that I recently watched Sinbad with my daughter

This was deep, thoughtful, and provocative to me. Enjoyed!
