The Squandering

 


The dimming light of fallen grace

that squints past the years like

mercurial atoms darting away from the

chaos it defends, mortal foliage strips aside

this squalid year in gracious splendor, sovereignty 

sways the cocoon, tucked in tightly woven silk, 

justified in glorious quiescence, soon to spring from

an abode with more evolutionary cognizance than

any primitive being could imagine, yet

will never embrace the Monarch that borne the fragile

nativity, alone and deserted, lifts to the sunlight, wings

frail as rice paper, aloft to the clouds, and such an odd 

muse, fluttering from flower to flower like some silent

symphony swaying, this pilgrimage of survival that 

nature provides dominates this ethereal doting insect, 

majestic yet this condescension into condemnation 

merely represents the brevity of how short nature 

proselytes everything into noble acuity

and fateful vacuity.
