Ways and wiles

Ummm..."On the twelfth day of Christmas"...


Ways and wiles


I walk this path revealed beneath my feet
as footsteps fall to miles incomplete
Each direction that I move has shown
that I am further lost than I have known

I do not recognize this all around
This further lost than ever I have found
Yet being lost another path I find
Much better losing place than losing mind

So glad that lost in aimless lines of thought
My feet might un-walk all that losing brought
As way’s and wiles humble now discern
As base or noble realization yearn

For something stands inside us having fought
For all that time experience had bought
Retired now that well remembered stride
That un-walked to my door and then inside



Is this the lost and found department of..."The Twilight Zone"...?

I am so pleased to see that you're still fighting the good fight YouSir. Your words always provoke profound emotion in me. I appreciate them almost as much as I worry...

Might I suggest a nice spicy Bloody Mary instead? It is the most important meal of the day after all... BTW, I have a rather pleasant formula for said tonic, if one is inclined to such frivolities.

Ummm...Hello my friend...LOL...Where would I go...Who else would put up with my Sunday sermons...?

As for "the good fight"...I fight that by drawing in that first breath as consciousness returns from dreamland...My very nature "fights the good fight"...

I'm glad that my words cause profound emotion in you...They know fulfillment then...Such is their nature...it's why I placed them so...

Why do you worry YoBroop...?

I can do horseradish. Why so skittish? Its not that spicy....

I am well, thank you. Starting a Bloody Mary of my own. I have a firm vow to never drink before 7 am on a Sunday but its 7:06 so no problem.

Hey, how'd I miss this one? Love your poetry as always!

I always look forward to your creative writings!
