Those planned and pearled directions
Seem distant purposed resurrections
The ones engraved in stone
Set back against a neutral tone

How wide the ripple of a touch
Be hard or soft the fathom such
In monotone convections
Embrace of recollections

The map was drawn on sail and sea
Storms sent in time to wage decree
Emotions walked the canyon floors
Against the tide the sky implores

How deep the imprint of a scar
Indelible as time sends far
A call predestined in the bone
Returning echo motions home

The toss of penny calculations
Thrown to the wind in steady rations
The lantern lit past peak and knoll
Remembers of its own this soul

Well...after reading the poem 8 times, I think I'll read it again. How wide indeed, this touched me greatly.

and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me...
