Creatives
Once upon naught
All seems quite odd,
This certain nod,
In fancy sought.
There is a swirl
Where charm feels light,
A sanguine twirl
Where world finds sight.
So often now
The pace gains tact,
Yet truth somehow
Can purge the pact.
So many seek
That causal light,
Yet mild and meek
Forfeit true sight.
All seems a show
As shadows edge,
An eerie glow
That blots the rage.
Our tribal ways
Now seems forlorn,
As if these days
Are harshly borne.
Too much of noise
Can kill the verse,
Better to voice
Such poise most terse.
Mind and heart know
Uneasy flow,
Yet seek to grow
Stress that strains show.
Our paradox
Is but a trace
Chained in-the-box,
A fumbling space.
We seem to know
A blank page here,
Yet cannot show
What ails this fear.
So we proceed
To fling and fill,
Seize wants and needs
And just do deals.
