I carry in my arms
the spirit of things gone begging
traversing and re-traversing
through the mental sphere
a ricochet almost
of humanity and emotion
populating the vast silence
with thought
contemplation sandwiched
as it is,
in shadowless strands of
conflicting matter
with each dancing a variance of
disagreeing steps
experiences shared
set backs suffered
reactions regulated
are all but substitutable ingredients
one randomly selects
at odd intervals
for the gradual stirring of self
that is generated
while love and knowledge remain
the finest nutrients to one's
aromatic flavoring.................
