The Secret Glass
From this crystal and through
the secret glass of the sun
I implore clarity
to reveal herself softly
There is a secret hidden
in the dendrites and dark
in the recesses of this
place where I
day after day after day
reside in the wax and wane.
How can
the dawning of summer
seem so crisp and true
yet tossed a great distance
and I, left grasping,
cannot reach that distance
long to
long
to embrace summer.
There is a remembrance
and a sensation of warmth
from a long-gone promise
that life would always be
free of distortion and I
could always dance with the
sun
could forever see the crystal
clear promise of what
was wrapped up in that precious
distant
mystery gift they called
tomorrow.
