ACQUIRED FLUX


Dust gathering under foot

As I wait in the heat of night

The moon full, watchful

Left alone again to wonder


What will tomorrow bring

More mysteries without solutions

Puzzles once known now turned upside down

Trying to run while lying on the ground


Slowly becoming part of the earth

While confusion begins to fade

Understanding the world as it passes by

Old love growing with time, maturing with compassion


The dust moving from my body

As the wind caresses memories into life

Fear like storms dissipating without a sound

Riddles taking form in the heart


With each touch of the mind

A soft stroke of thought creating wisdom

Eyes losing vision and gaining insight

In age regaining youth


Seeing truth through veiled shadows

Rebirth of innocence with the loss of corruption

Changes acquired with a flux of energy

Stigmas removed with the grace of those choosing to understand
