Tim Timid No Longer

Tim Timid No Longer


In the misty midst of diabolical centre ground

Timothy vows to replace the endless loops 

of mindless regurgitation and rise to the fore


Indigo crescents point to the crown and middle

ground that periphery holds for a place in time

where short cuts and diagonal matter no more


Where is the rainbow he questions himself

when waters have dried with sun eclipsed

by sordid caves and forceful dis-illumination 


He strikes a forlorn figure has burnt the candle 

at both ends yet wicked wick has found a match

Together they gather the light from contused confusion


Sheltered at their hearth and shivering from darkness

they search and retrieve a firestone of nascent meaning

and glow the colours for themselves to prime the prism


Slowly rain falls again to dry their tears and sores

sun soars to wet their appetite for more adventure

Emerging from a fog of blessings Tim feels whole again
