A Poem by Sputter Outlaw

Hope bids me find

at the turn of the page

Something that is true,

no matter the age.

 

I keep my fingers scrolling

from one piece to the next.

To find eternal beauty

Embedded in the text.

 

I resist the temptation

“Commit it all for vain”

If a window’s own geometry’s pure,

There must be more beyond the pane.

 

I command a thousand centuries

With a single finger flick.

You name it, I’ve got it.

So have you, take your pick.

 

Engage a desperate scramble

Through endless years of prose.

Posthumous tendrils of wit

That promises the Rose.

 

Everytime I hope to find..

But it’s not as easy as that.

Nor should it really ever be

To pull the rabbit from the hat.

"Everytime I hope to find.But it's not as easy as that." I love those lines.Contradiction to the allusion,"seek and ye shall find." I guess that's just life,we either look to hard,or we just miss what's in front of us.I'd like to think,fate allows us to see what's to be seen,and find what's to be found.It may not be in the time frame we want,but eventually I guess. Keep up the good work!
