Forest of forgetting, Mirror in the morning: Aiding and abetting, Wading in and warning -- Overwhelmed by wonder, All us allegorists: Agile, yet asunder Fragile in the forest

Passing through the seasons,
Much is left for wanting;
Parrying the reasons —
Harrying, and haunting —
But, those lost tomorrows
Still were worth amassing —
Deathless hidden sorrows:
Ephemera passing
Balance on the edges;
Wondering and waiting.
Promises and pledges?
Balms to aid abating.
Climbing is a college;
Testing all our talents —
Precipice of knowledge
Crest of breadth in balance
Holding, for a moment,
Diff’rent times and seasons:
Tossed about by heartache,
Lost in all the reasons
Much gets out of focus
With a life’s unfolding;
Soon bereft, releasing,
With what’s left for holding
Treasure made in magic
Make a life worth living;
Lines of sweetness simple
Signs of grace in giving
Sheila on the bed sheets
Playfully, in pleasure,
Moves a mind to marriage
Proves a trace in treasure
Anchor on the shoreline,
Ship no longer floating;
Ranger of the seaways,
Danger going boating.
Knowing storms are coming,
Cannot be a wanker –
Choose to eschew peril,
Lose not life, but anchor
forming frames in fictions
living loving learning
dalliance with dictions
balancing and burning
shivering and shaking
waking then and warming
slanting off and slaking
fantasies for forming
Jutting out the jetty
As the gray day’s growing;
Violence in virtue
Of the silence sowing
Through the nascent nightmare
Is the blank abutting;
Ragged broken regions –
Jagged thoughts are jutting
Forming sights of season,
Plenitude and plenty;
Like a raid on reason,
Magic made by many –
Coldness can be covered,
Lovers will be warming:
High the hope has hovered
By the faith that’s forming
