Faded Glory

The light once so bright In the humble dandelion, The power that amazed us In the migrating birds, The patterns so intriguing In frost on the window Are not lost forever, merely Held in reserve, Awaiting sweet release From the numbing effect Of fixed preoccupations, From the stealthy separation Of projected self-propulsion.
