The StumbleA Poem by Jason GalligerSlipping down the tip The bonds-once tightened-now fray and rip I tumble down the checkered-spiral Unto blazing ecstasy A world of endless possibility The virgin frontier blushes at my approach Its protectors gather fearing the encroach But when that first step is made The ripples that spread Move too fast to be contained Change comes on a southerly wind What once was empty will now be filled Dreams and desires fight for control of man’s will The victor paints the land While the loser carves beneath Till both collapse on one another All that’s left is the ruin of a thought Now-demeaned © 2010 Jason Galliger |
