Forest Shoot #1

The Moment I Seize

Gone with the
Winding spirals
I must appease
My disease
The moment I seize
Please-
Oh please,
Somehow
Let it always be
Right now

Sleuths of Reality (Transitioning)

The last page
Left to turn
Transitioning
With temperance
Finding grace
Myself I must face
Forward
Glancing back
To gain perspective
Learn to act
Out my dreams
Better than I'd
Imagined them
I will
Gather the strength
Endowed to me
In connection to
The powers that be
Light springs forth
Undoubtedly
With the
Sure-footed steps
Faith directs
Without question
Answers in lesson
Learned and confirmed
As truth
Each life holds
The most marvelous
Mysteries
Detected
With attention
To minuscule detail
In amazement
Of the arrangement
Individual atoms
Collect and compose
This, that and those
My head
And your clothes
So's
We
Sleuths of reality
Can pick up
And follow
Our own mystery
