It
It is a horizon of dreams aloft in hope.
It is love, stirred with hate that drips need
to bleed us, heal us and force our tired cope.
It is a circle never ending, a line never bending,
and it holds questions with no answers, like keys
to kingdoms none can find to turn or master.
It is that door, the door, where dear ones come and go,
ones who carry joy, hold us, love us, then, in time
they lack reasons to feel or the want to know us, so, no,
I mean, yes, it is not long-term, strongly rooted trust.
It is a strange, bewildering, momentous fuss
that boils in us until we bubble up our filthiest cuss.
It is same attempts in a familiar game of strange
ranging from old to presentations tweaked as new
that leave us standing without scent of a clue.
It is the reason creating all things we do and
the matter with our universal supply of glue.
It is your craziness fondling my insanity, too.
As a match, it does flame fan mankind’s fire
to rise in heat stroked red curls ever higher.
It is the silence that secrets our desires
and the stillness of hush-laced conspires.
It causes human hands failed attempts to grab
sky-warm, star blankets, not to be human had.
It is a riddled fear maze forcing us to run,
to race by men with aimed happy guns,
to quick stride far from addicts selling sons
and slowly consider embracing those we have shun
as we forgive ourselves for all never seen done.
It is another day, and, say, here it does come.
