A Fool's Spring

Heroic effort's lost
Striving valiantly
Against a current
Of love and bliss

A tragic vessel
That will not sink

Surrenders to drown.

   Unmade by Love

It resurfaces
Born anew

Chop and cut
Slice and dice
Peeled layers bringing
Tears to these eyes
Reveal this world as dust

So, uncertain hands

Cradling new life
Plant fresh seeds,
And Life fresh watered
Springs forth renewed

A single fool
Shoulders his swag
Searching again for
The ends of the earth

There to sit
Toes dipped silently
Into the infinite.

Casting a line
To Plumb forever
And catch
These passing moments
