hand and
franticly looking for a lighter with the other.

~~ And what if it did long to ~~
know and moved-never to forget;- 
the-humble-cry-from-the-hearts, 
the-needs-of-the-many, hurting, 
the innocent answered, living 
dying, fading-away amid the- 
battle-raging-war-on-them, 
~ inside-its-eroding prison;  
~ amid the echos of their ~
souls-emptiness; hoping 
praying-quietly, to-have-
the-righteous-comfort- 
~ of-their-lost-lives,- ~
~~ again ensured. ~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Screaming out why, ~
~ far-and-wide-high-and- ~
low-in-the-dark; trembling 
~ alone in the cold, searching- ~
~ franticly, for the truth ... lost;- ~
~ gone awry, totally amiss, being ~
~ the only obvious; driving question, ~
~` pounding away ... relentlessly; ~ ~
~ stripping-them-of-their-freedom ~
~  squandering-the-treasures of- ~
~~~~ their-stolen-security ~~~~
~~ and fullness-of-spirit. ~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
So what if love joy 
and hope, honesty and
patience;- consideration, 
~ generosity mercy and- ~
forgiveness, compassion-,
~~ and unconditional- ~~
~~~~ understanding, ~~~~
~~~~ and the-beauty- ~~~
~~ revealed-in the-way ~~

~~ of-remaining-open, ~~
~~ brought-bitter-hate ~
~ to-its-knees? To finally-  
~ acknowledge-this;- and-  
in-surrendering; it was- ~
~ transformed-and made-
~ again through-this. To-be 
~~~ accepting. Was- ~~~ 
~ willing, to-work-as well 
setting-them-free, living-
~ as-one-with-them as it 
strived for the perfection  
the protection, of these 
~~~ greater things? ~~~

I’m forgetting how to drag these worthless thoughts
 
Through broken and grasping fingertips.

I.

The dragonfly drops.
Sunshine glimmers on its
diamond wings.

II.

Unlike the black cricket,
sweet muse of the night, 
no dragonfly sings.

III.

The dragonfly skips
on crystalline, still water
deftly tracing endlessly echoing rings.

IV.

A monk would say:
 Dragonflys are what they are 
one should not compare...

He almost slept (as was wonted),
When, alas he saw her lying there-
Still, as if she were in winding sheets
Upon their bed; Drawing near to her,
He heard no breath.  Then, placing his hands
Upon her breast,...

ascending further from...

On a clear day at the edge of the lake,
into her lovely hands she did partake,
Of the still, cold water to quench her thirst,
Thinking of scenarios… best and worst.

It had been ages since she thought...

To majestic colors that dazzled my eyes.

Accompanied with angels melodious voices that captivated my ears.

But knowing full well that my attempts will be...
