at present
The modern dilemma paves
Today
In a stunning array of transient beauty
the sun shimmers
And for a brief second,
Only a brief second
I raise my head,
not in a form of an ancient ritualized appeal
towards what some refer to as the heavens
Blue and infinite
But out of a childish curiosity
Of how light shatters in
a
dancing
Kaleidoscopic
Whirl
Rising
And
falling
With the embers and ashes of the hearth
