Fascination on a Fulcrum

 Fascination on a Fulcrum

 

There is an obsession with broken things

found on bridges with the scattered pieces

of good intentions.

Indeed, there are many fragments

of evil perpetration too.

Perhaps, a bit more - if one is completely open.

 

And, in this enchantment of gathering life’s

futile steps and stumbles - taken along the path

to the stone church (where the stain glass wares),

the value is so much in question

at the end of the sun’s pivot upon the horizon’s ledge.

For in each step over and across the rare collections

of the daunting detritus – are found untold stories.

 

The rabbit, in the hole, knows the tale

And in a surreal sense, the seeker is found too,

in the wheels and windows

Of his mind – (the walker, I mean) – understand?

 

Yes?  Good, for he has no touch with reality.

As he collects the pieces to make the windows of stains.

Formed from the pieces, the elements and lead

that was molded in the crucibles of trial and tribulations!

 

Why would he do such a thing that

is impermanent?

Because the sun will rise

the light will find the frame

and it must be done.
