Moments, draining, our poured out days

Moments, draining, our poured out days
Collect in corners our sinful ways
Proclaiming choice that often strays
Soul's discretion; sometimes not, sometimes obeys.

What bounds were set by laws of stone?
What limits tradition fixed in the bone?

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Originally, I had this opening with a quote from Blake, "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.", but the sternness of my poem didn't work with the optimism of the Blake quote.

With such few words, you disperse a lot of images, ways of thinking. A lovely read. It's hard to find good poetry, I think I'll come back for more.
