proliferate currents infiltrate deterrents
refraction, abstraction,
interaction,
reaction...
the mingling of two
in distillate dew
crystalline myriadic flight
a spectrum of periodic light
a chemistry prone to ignite
mitosis that groans to unite
genetic,
kinetic,
aesthetic...
what constitutes art?
and how does one judge
the end from the start of the masterpiece sludge
the mud and the ice and the slush in the grade
the ruts of the tires and the tracks that they've made
the plow bank
the trow dank
the industrial think tank
the septic
the toxic
eclectic
the plot's sick
and all of the time that the hickory clock ticked
while dreams were deferred to retirement
and wireless goes where the wire went
and modern convenience
evolves where the dream went
somewhere along slippery ways
between the erodes and decays
as the calendar counts off the days
and time gets sidetracked in malaise...
but one line cuts through to the chase
it defines the beauty and grace
it cuts like a knife to the meaning of life
lends credence to each moment borrowed
and gives us new hope for tomorrow
the staff and the rod
the promise of God
to guide children home by the way
in the light that His word will convey.
