Take It Or Leave It

reflections condense in the mist of time
         it is what it seems to be in prismatic recoil
                and then another broken shard mirrors
                        illusions of self-centred sparkling confusion 

when the lime light turns into a sour brew
	of convictions denied their valid conclusion
		where necessary and sufficient lacks clarity
			an olive branch reaches out to impermanence

translucent and ephemeral certainty levitates
	flies against tides and currents in stormy repose
		 a surrender to ignorant dogma gathers a glimpse
			of what reality is and how to stoke change and reprieve

parabolic contention yields new paradigms and hope
	the dialectic wheel turns ever faster and spins new yarns
		squares a circle of never-ending angles and perspectives
			dizzying heights wait for the patient purveyor of peace
