Updraft
Updraft
by Odin Roark
He sees the journey endless
Yet knows well of endings
He senses the other side of heart
That way station of life
Where respite or more challenge
Follows getting beyond
Yesterday’s beauty and pleasure
Perplexed with what to do
He rejects conceding as not enough
After all
Who will hear the melodies
Blood’s ebb and tide ripples
See rainbow vibrations
Atop a sparrow’s whistling breeze
Smell the freedom of flowers
Opening by dawn’s fraternal light
Taste longevity’s savory consciousness
Touch anxious brush-strokes of dreams
Still seeking canvas?
Restless
Aware the final movement
Of life’s symphony inexorable
His spirit soars above the clouds
Not yet willing to embrace
Dead air’s finality
Patience smiles
Another updraft rises
