YOUR ROLE, SO PERSONALLY FELT

 

Your role, so personally felt

Loosens its hold

Those positions of authority

Those people you supported

Dissipate in the dim dusk of last year

Pure savage artistry strolls by

Grabs hold again with willful intent

As much to occupy the human body

As to fill a need of gone-by time

            And you lift off in bright sun

            You see more clearly

            The genius of God less opaque

            Welcoming arms of love appear

            Somehow materializing from memory

            And though no body accompanies

            The arms seem sufficient

            As when you lose someone

            And you feel that you need them back

            In any condition

            Just back

            Yet as soon as you express the thought

            You know futility supersedes wishes

Walking along unsupervised

The minds of adolescents wander

Yet always circle back

To the miracle of the senses

Following the highs of touch and sight

Bringing the unfound even more allure

Each untested thrill

The soaring flight of the body in action

Against the rainbow

That forms for each of us who look
