various fogs transpire
of such vagueness the moment tires
rain is a tempter of soil
and the greed of his own hand is man's
constant toil
among such madness we meander
fearful of the light and all for which
wisdom spoils
worried beauty amid a sprig of oleander
a confection of mockery and recoil
while of and not fully of this earth
the farther we take the journey
the more and more it becomes so
spiritually personal
to quote an old and obvious saying
there are trees in those woods
growing unbeknownst in a forest royal
