Beyond the Streamlets

Beyond the streamlets to the hills
Beyond moss coated stones
Vapors gather, assembled to the craggy throne
Where higher mosses grow untrod
Provisioned by the air
Mists come thick and thin in wisps
And tendrils curling there
The world what could it mean to me...
...The world, what would it mean?
Vacant whiteness closes in upon my helpless view
I can not see beyond my throne
Nor even to my shoe
A root blunt I’ve collected there
Involves my contemplation
The root blunt I’m inspecting here
Would easy be companion
The world what could it mean to me...
...The world, what would it mean?
In wriggled structures and crooked lines
It gathers around its own
Forms that grew in knobbies through
The hard resistant ground
How not unlike these gnarled roots
Severed at both ends
By circumstance inscrutable
Are my soul’s tangled bends.
Some parts smooth and showing grooves
Some plated in bark skin
By chink and cranny
Sparkly shards of stone embedded in
How not unlike these gnarled roots
Severed at both ends
By circumstance inscrutable
Are my soul’s tangled bends
Murmurs vague fluctuate, flourish far and near
Fraught with light, indefinite
Twine tangles creeping queer
Beyond the streamlets to the hills
Beyond moss coated stones
Vapors gather, assembled to the craggy throne
The world what could it mean to me...
...The world, what would it mean?
