By an Intricate Set of Layers . . .




Perhaps we didn’t see the pacing of our lives
Was caught and structured by an intricate
Set of layers---
Thoughts hidden from the present
Held captive by the past

Jars of dark, line the inward shelves---
The strata of our dreams in the onward journey---
Layers of some fruitful substance of mind
Laid between the green lines of our spiralling ‘flowers’
Growing up--- one upon another---
And over and over

The delicate, many-petalled beauty of every
Crashing tragedy--- encased in cracked jars---
Pockets of crushed lilies---
Which could rise from their containers---
An untapped source of inspiration---
And mediate between the lines
And alter the course and speed
Of our crippling pace of progress

It is so --- and so it is --- and we are nearer each time
