Composure (Day 1014)


Reckless hands   fingers 

seeking   finding   abandoning

a fountain of flame

playing the scales of the wind 

with prodigious nonchalance

diminishing beneath the weight 

of thoughtful composure

a searing triumph that twinkles

then pales   fading against timeless 

walls of percussive grandeur

below   in the bluest shadows

the chorus collapses in a tumbling 

cascade of dull-edged sparks
