Becoming

Here for a while, Seize whatever happy; Thus frame a smile, Transit temporary. Make presence cite, Despite odd suffering; Forge escape writes, Engage vain mutterings. From time to time, Withdraw your self from fear; Cut-and-paste rhymes, Seek a deeper dance dear. No one can see The wind that blows the breeze; Know what may be A learning curve you squeeze. Watch stillness fling, Strange cast of mystery; Or that soft ring, Dry brown leaves falling free. Is the sky clear? An upside down blue lake, A glimpse of cheer Engulfing give and take. Mellow seems brief, The sway and stretch of peace; Pulse of sad grief, Tentative mind at ease. Leon Enriquez 23 September 2017 Singapore
