Gathering

Wave after wave
Siege upon siege
Trials greet the brave
League after league


Sign follows sign
Road after road
Symbols jog mind
Load gathers load


Day after day
Night after night
The air feels stay
In dark and light


Chime alters chime
Sense follows sense
Rhyme within rhyme
Tense confronts tense


Look beyond looks
Joy impacts joy
Put down your books
Ploy fashions ploy


Need within need
Surge after surge
Go beyond seed
Feed on sure urge


Thought after thought
Brief after brief
Discard vain plot
Grief attracts grief


Blind knows not blind
Find after find
Cruel can be kind
Just read the signs


Here mellows here
Sphere after sphere
Live with sure cheer
Purge all else near


Face follows face
Reach upon reach
Feel time and space
Know each to each


Fling after fling
Stretch upon stretch
Hear sparrows sing
Catch beyond catch
