Short Undirected Poems

words

not quite seen
not quite heard
freely floating
drifting aimlessly
beyond a misty screen

an unprovoked spark
undirected unknowingly
seeks  grasps
their trailing tendrils
orders and thrusts them
conjoined in breathless
wonder into something

You can't protect yourself
From the future that awaits,
It comes to you like an elf,
Ambivalent to your fate.

At that point then, I will decide
On where this write should go
But, until I reach completion then
My mind won’t even know...

As in

The ice petals of an orchid
  challenging an entire glacier 
    comprised of all that enchanted
      the very same seed from which 

it became.

As with

The golden grain of sand
  searching for significance
    so undirected and mystified
      by the very beach from which

it derived.

As in

The loneliest child in time
  running as fast as the light
    will allow into the same grave
      by which he was indelibly once 

beforn.

As is...
