As my way is made among the thorns,
An inner beauty a rose adorns.
A darkness present, tries to hide,

Meant to discourage my getting through
To reach...

There’s a burning yen nomadic deep within entrenched,
to absorb fresh environments ambrosial on foot,

Coagulated through coldheartedness 
Confusion and subterfuge 
- It's like coming home when...

But that was only one life’s foreplay.

underneath the surface lie patterns undisturbed.
Brilliantly crafted, a grid to be revered,
endlessly challenging, with solutions to be cleared.

Multitudes of letters, arranged with care,
nor are they haphazard, no random flair.

Pretty natural tones ring out in my flyway 
Light, invisible hands bait me to the clay.
