Candescent

I play the blues but I think it best not to live them any longer
Things end sometimes; and sometimes it feels as if;
You loose; and yes even me.
    And the silent inscriber pens his dialogs and actions;
    Another drama plays its self out;
    And only by design; perhaps the light has shone
How little I realized or considered; in the darkness;
Was I not the playwright; but of course I was;
But I was not; and the delusion consumed me.
    No need for a tragedy or a comedy;
    It was simply one of life’s possibilities;
    It is what it was and the good and the bad ultimately balanced
The peach remains attached to the vine; ingesting its nourishment but;
Summer approaches; and fruits are picked or will fall but;
The circle continues; and once again like new blossoms we wait to grow.
