a parting glimpse of mischief

the intangible lifeblood of man?
what forces incite his waiting spirit
or causes its ardor to wane?

who moves the noble mortal
in the courses of his destiny?
and with Atlas’ strength anchors
in diluvian depths his loyalty?

why does man pulse with fire
the engine of his blood stark
against a cold and frightful sky
riveting light against the dark?

how can he strive upon strife
exciting tempestuous passion
and then land firmly in his place
in a fine and fearless fashion?

i know not. so ask me not.
for i can only wonder
same as you.

not yet full of the seasons bustle
the rise and fall of mournful notes
a landscape painted in Christmas hues

his red stocking cap sat a jaunty angle
while tendrils of wispy smoke drifted
on the wind, and brass vibrations wafted
down the city streets at mid day
