One thing--
life’s secret,
something to cling to,
something secure...

Pluses, pluses, gains
in the foundation
of reality,
of truth.

Pluses, pluses
fill my pockets
like so much lint,
so much dust...

building up
like oxidation
on some ornate figure;
like lichen
upon a sedentary stone.

Let not the fear,
of the loss of such,
be my boss;

rather,
that which is unseen-
the promise,
now only a dream,
a hope,

let that be my reason,
my season,
my spice--

the variety
that keeps me alive
that helps me survive
and reflect
the joy and truth
of He
who is my source
of Light.

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