Naive Faith
Dripping wet weeping gold droplets imaginatively spun on elm trees,
a less than poetic splatter on saturated loose grit plain ground overtrodden
to stun the half asleep swooning sapphire riser to allegiance without pietism,
the thoughtful and tenacious one who muses in reflective rivulets of colour,
can the amalgam they have eyewitnessed evolve without impediment or discord,
into a manifest puissant fecund growth of ennoblement that edifies,
or is that naive faith bereft in its picayunely tactile orbit,
tilting wild sea ship without rudders at the cusp of oceanic pitiless plummet,
annotated spatial map scramble with blinkers on though not intended
to an innocent observer who seeks transparent crystal pristine pure truth untarnished,
they entreat
in bold dimensions moral hues of iridescent panoply imbued and sentient.
from ubiquitous universes where
impetuous rapture isn’t an asset to the pilgrim passer-by,
they crave with zeal a sturdy rock-hard anchor in ornamental branch, bloom and beach,
but not eschewing urban ventures that rally visionary zeitgeist fervour erroneously scorned,
not shortened or abbreviated by a blanket dismissal of city puerile pigeonhole prevalent,
such philosophers inject proportion into harvests that ripen with the nutrient of resolve,
neither naive faithful quest nor stern rebuttal from the cynic inhibit authentic query, whilst filtering, factoring,and furnishing the tints and tinge of every setting,
their belief system may appear overly optimistic but never opportune,
without a mental coalition of plausible creed embedded in approach,
integrating wild leaf flurry, granite stone chasm, dry river bed,
with raw seabed carragheen swish,
wisps of sumptuous azurite, malachite, phenocryst surely moulded,
in configurations that escape from those who cling to a crystalline creed,
whose shapes sculpted by the intense power of belief in oneself,
as an ally or alliance imbibe this colour scenic world ,
its joys and heavens are at your fingertips,
how astounding sources of restorative faith naive or otherwise,
proliferate in spots haunting and divinely dispersed,
nab and seize sunrise and sunset menagerie of pulchritude,
I beseech not to dodge or overlook the haven you seek,
in a concatenation so coincidental when those who long for fountains,
blossom beacons beckon as glad garland lure,
tinsel train trundle in sound halo first light easel,
cherry fruit chattering amid the August summer copse,
graceful seagulls scrape church spires in sun dust clouds,
regardless of spot, scene or setting the authentic creed detained,
matrices of malachite majesty entice the migrant muse,
I can reinvigorate my quintessential queries with aplomb though not bland,
this task embarked upon has few if any prescient prompts to grasp at,
disparaging as it appears I will never surrender something as astounding as faith,
this determined campaign enthused with integrity will yield a quite tangible reward
