with dewy eyes
(A work in progress because I am too distracted by a need for truth to be composed in my act of composition)
And therefore none of my passions' interest
yet all my passions longing for light
for communion, for order in the lonely chaos
of a linear being that's shattered, scattered,
passion regrets while grasping for the light.
Thus it ends abrupt, a wall to skirt around,
though the universe murmurs its unconcerned
refrain in a steady ancient rhythm that flows
wall or not
passion or not
to a well expected infinite sea of time
that drowns the moments of my life
so keenly felt into a vast uniform oblivion.
The rich bursting of passion's blossoms,
a hoard of noisy offspring, brief spluttering
sparks we rode to our mutual extremes, fade
to echos while we draw breath across our fires
to tease height into the flames
we long to see unsettled.
