Somethin's Bound To Give

Another switchback under mountain crossed, (*) far below blue and violet spires bloom. Undiscovered shady valley river flows lost, rippling in pride of madeira's plume. Turned my back to a harsh southern wind, reach those dizzying heights again. No finer place recalled, nor time relived, though knowin' something's gotta give. Maybe I'll cave, change a mind that got it wrong.. this heart took a left turn more than once. Like voices lifted in a David Foster song, though perhaps a dog that'll never hunt. You hold someone to higher purpose, turning like a diamond in your hand. Look deep in beauty's fractured surface., a sadness I finally understand. She's fixed with a devil maiden's eye, nothin' as sweet; her cracker jack surprise. Sweet reprieve to convicted heart lived, though somethin's bound to give. *Inspired by poem 'All I can be' - by Heidi Sands ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
