Through a stained-glass window

There’s no need to cover my eyes

From the way that life is

For this one moment in time

Arrogance would have me surprised

Humbly I see how

I’ve been keeping myself out of

The Light.

Spend time writing

Not reading

Not thinking

Not researching or

Reviewing.

My thoughts float through me

Escaping before meaning sets in

I cannot manage meaning

At this time For it baffles

Me Confined.

From an attempt

To vocalize.

That’s not what I intended

That’s not what I meant

Think of my life from what I see

Some aphyllous others not

A matter of moments

There are just

Nothing satisfies

Nothing fits
