TRIPPING the LIGHT

"blinded brilliant by a star’s stunning glow"

trees bent for agonies quaint fill in

umber for a venue of mortal remain

knotted limbs twined on a distorted path

crawling from beneath the shrub to stretch  

possessed in a lifelong quest of illumination

the sculpted arbor

built eagerly in self preservation

a sight for surrender

the play by play inside wonder

an artist still changing the content

chasing perfection for hopes silhouette

daring beauty with a promise to forget

the reluctant seduction to reflect

a stolen look through the glass

to catch a brilliant star's stunning glow

majestic fragments of light expand and flow  

awaken the snap of plush reminisce

alive to flicker inspiration in a single trip

hitting the on again off again desire to resist

the spiritual passing in every here and now that exist

introduce us to what we can and cannot see

the long cold road from summer to spring

captured by belief

a humbled place in constant motion

tumbling through the window gently as she sleeps
