Catch as Catch can

When phantoms fill the mind with lush
And moonlight paints a silver brush
A feather tilts the teeter board
And weighs upon the memory stored

It presses mind into the night
To see the other side in light
Beyond the psyche of the will
To dip a cup desires fill

But weight can be a spirits yaw
And bring the teeter board to floor
To catch you in the ebb of tide
And stay your heart nowhere to hide

Within the chaos of the grime
There seems no teeter board for time
It stays the center of the board
And up and down is no reward

It stays the access of the core
And always this forevermore
