Transitions a T S Eliot Tribute

symbolism
   of the metaphysical
self-depreciating
                     &deep
in a voice
of consciousness
so
intense&compelling

memorable    
           lines
over
    the passage
    of time
pieces&moments
                     incomplete
impulses&allusions
in
creative
spaces

discarded fragments
conceived
              in isolation
unconventional
experimental
               in creative
                        energy
an artist
     of faith
in
transition
            to bliss
of a
     potential
       prejudice
mirrored
in
turmoil
      of disparate
                 pieces

outpourings
of
ego
     eager&objective
     adventurous&dynamic
motivated
by a fear
of inaction

profound visions
belief
in creativity
yet
    remaining aloof
trapped
in time
    shielded
          in
             privacy

an absence
of pattern
        uniquely derived
free
of
definition
               a mask
               for the refined

excerpts
of influence
            in a series
of verse
            obscure
            spiritual
releasing
the paralysis
of
the
revolving
             mind
