THE COMET OF MY DREAMS
What purpose brings me here? |
To breathe to sleep to live and die? |
Should I contented be with shallow furrow, |
halfway dug by dragging my heels? |
Or, should my spade press hard through clay to chip against the stone? |
What set my pace? |
Should I contented be with muddy vision, |
halfway clear shielded from the sun |
slipping smoothly through the years |
plump idle hands sweet smiles of nothing? |
Or, should my inner wheel churn with crimson fury |
spinning endless visions sparks, |
shooting to the stars burning eager fingers |
yet ….. holding tightly |
Riding ….. the comet of my dreams? |
