Puzzle instinctively trickles down the cheek
Of some warmed spicy wandering, like a
Bright glow depth, murmurs aging wood
Fireplace burning, pages fast moving
Across sneers on faces with old legs

Hood of middle age, wearing armor
Scanning blue eyed scars,
under candle lights
Where the brow of mind lies down
On an extra bed of sunrise

mirroring the bow of homeland,
mapping folds of letters slowly drifting
family seal…
sheaths of cutting edge,
knows the strong and confident

like some quest of evening
with expectation
moonblade bearers paying attention
to the white haired genius
no body knows
and far reaching voices of children
look longingly at the epoch summit
of human progress
where resources becomes a refugee
somewhere in a corner globe

Think of Eliot’s stern burlesques
dance the grassroots of free verse
while you can
I ponder the aesthetic spurs
When patterns begin to emerge
wondering when our quality of life
as we know it....
dies?

Our quality of life dies with us each day.
We must condense Mother Nature takes offence
Good morning sweet.
