Reechoes of Vertu

 A-mid shared thoughts, 
shuffled 'cross mortal uncoil,
no central judge; 
choices re-sound, choices spoil.

 Principles form an unspoken pact,
reciprocity in action, a silent (re)act.

 In trans-action of duties, a treaty defined,
acknowledgment, values, (re)flections, they bind.

 Not a-lone acts, rather sharing confessions,
indices echo (echo) moral impressions.

 Choices ripple ~ a moral surge ~ ennui overtakes,
no single emotion can play ducks-and-drakes.

 In life's upturns, 
steepening truths subtly heaved,
concrete reverbs, in every gesture, conceived.
