Bending to the Wind

My work has tried
through the human lens
to dance with eternal ideas
to sometimes gift
of my own design
some abstract rationality.

through the human lens-
are we rooted
to soils giving life,
do we grow in meaning
of existence
so the Universe
can know itself

Dance with eternal ideas
bend in exploration
shine in light
walk with patience
fly in flight
swim in ocean
and know thyself

sometimes gifted
sometimes bought
sometimes earned
sometimes not

By design
we live
what we learn
By Nature
we learn
what we live

abstract rationality
for lack of a metaphor
sweeps under rug most meaning
in attempts to clean up
unreasonable messes.
Where's the dustpan
of better life.

Life's stardust-
growing in meaning,
bending in exploration.
Sometimes
I learn
in attempts to clean up.
