A Whiff of Thought

Woven from the ripple sentiments,
an overture of things seems to come.
Like an instinctive feel that draws time,
a weighty thought has mighty call.

  Drawn in swooping strokes of ink,
  are bits and pieces of character traits.
  within the discovery of human drama,
  provides a scope pregnant with thoughts.

On a long and arduous journey,
a culture of attitude comes through both.
Becoming part and keeping apart,
with that ability to have a sense of life.

  Like pieces of parchment of yesteryears,
  old, wrinkled, and fading color.
  on which memories of the past,
  are drawn with passion and confession.

It is a stealth device,
a kind of creative embedding.
A truthful picture, a source of reflection,
that depict the whole spectrum.

  In an assortment of events,
  including some heavy episodes.
  Disjointed moments with lilting brogues,
  transform the action into reflection.
