Lost Soul Disciples

As carefree moments surrender to
    promising creations and
    careful slumber,
events unfold like a tapestry of
    gilded fiber within the
    gauze of memory.

These rivulets drip from the
    elemental construct into
    all living matter,
until dreams become more than
    mere whispers of
    valor during peril. 

Dotted along the carved horizon
    down at bare-ass beach,
    we stare-down the
wonderment of design in
    dichotomy with
    whimsical mystery

until even the mundane gears
    begin to slow to a
    catlike stretch,
backs arched like stroked with
    benevolent hands and
    comet claws.

We witness the fleet correction of
    ages of trickery in their
    passionless eyes
as they swerve to gawk from
    polished status
    luxury sedans.
