Gradual is our relationship
with the grace behind nature
another spectral October Fall
how the wizard sun confines
and the flamingo sunsets wave goodbye
the fires ebb, the flowers cease
their sport, the stars wink
at snowflakes on their fall
to carpet a sparkling web
sapphire moments drift by
at dusk in the cities
there is a soft glimmer
in the streets, it is cold outside
as we bow one by one into
our brief solitude, with visions
to guide us for the labours of tomorrow
paralyzed by the savings of gold
or the lack of savings in our bank accounts
the wisdom of life is a brief release
the details we once scrutinized
no longer seem so important after all
to live a good life, means different things
at separate points in our story
and nothing in the end intoxicates
like the God neurochemical
call it what you will, the spirit
lives on after all these subplots
the search for a diviner brand
of metaphysics, philosophy, utopia
until there are no visitors to our soul
but a diviner truth, a more united feeling
gradual is our relationship
with what’s beyond the scope of years.
