Serenading Soul


parched buds
in shriveled sapling
                    desolate
bloom dreams
          in 
desiccated dunes
as the aureate sun 
masks the mirage 
                    chased
taking the scorched life 
to the opal oasis 
          but
ending up 
in staking retreat
of illusion
          where
dreams are lost
in the debris
          of 
the palace of cards
                    collapsed 
in desert sands 
of destiny
                    adrift     

rootless vagabond 
                   wanders
in the wasteland
          of
wrecked sandcastle
mentally metamorphosed
                  shapeshifts 
          into 
a lone player 
of puppet show
                  depicting 
the panorama of life
                  unlived
performing ordained
to the dictum 
of stringed freedom
                  enjoyed 
in artificial act 
                  axiomatic
of lingering life
          obtuse
perfected within
psychic sanctum 
of patience
                  instilled 
sensually by 
possessed passion   
                  persistent
to dance 
                 entranced
to the symphony 
          of 
the serenading soul
                sublime
