Temporal vision is all temporary wise, leading,
deceiving, so let be open the pupil of my spiritual eye.
Surpassing, deception, dissembling & diatribe.
Lose the misunderstandings inherent in the clouding
conspiring passing play, of life’s speeding day by night
nocturnal wise ways.
Light surpassing time & circumstance,
grant me leave, grant me space in light waves to journey
with their nuanced dance through the passes of time,
looming all round over bluffs,
and the parting of ways.
let the eye of true insight enrapture me in pure delight.

For Rick Parise's contest.
The world spinning round
A park bench
The wind...
The only sound
Trees,
Red and gold
Tumbling leaves
How a world can stop
Turn by turn...
Park bench
Life burning by
Sit through the day
Passing play...
Park bench
Sometimes...
It's the only way
