Causes and Strains

The causes and strains, the breeds and sieves,
and the races and riddles,
fiddle, twiddle, and meddle—

Jingles, tinkles, and the clinks and pings,
grow, nurture, and raise.

The stages are dispersed, unfurl and unroll,
proposing, offering and demanding,
formations mold, evolve and commence,
foundations harden, confederate and align.

The cosmos and universe surge and flow, pour and gush;
the paths to be paved, the routes extricate, mark and separate,
clouds and smokes, hazes and billows
not to substantiate, sustain and validate.

The sky and blues, the webs and ebbs,
the urges surrogate, the wishes conjugate,
while, the feats and conducts, remain and linger
eager, impatient and fervent.

Open the frame, the horses heed the theme,
the roses’ aroma, simmering, rumbling and fostering,
the birds, the ensemble, knows well to dwell.

If, heed and steer to defer, delay, or recess—
the helm and rudder shall not be offered,
witnesses and spectators, bystanders and onlookers,
not to be joined, linked, connected and relayed.

While, the waves, surfs, and swells,
disappoint and letdown,
the addled, distracted and diverted insights, thoughts and plans—
The rashes succumb and accede, the flow and tide,
portray gestures, signs and signals,
the flop of wobbling shrugs and nods.

Or, the constancy and firmness,
has reached the boundaries of percept,
the aura of soul and self, fidelity and faithfulness—
the ether has immersed, entrenched, engrained and submerged.

Streams, brooks, and rivers, not to perish,
nor to accede or yield,
lonely and dispersed, abandoned horizon’s depth,
the sphere turn, the turns and twirl s, do not accept blames.

Reflect and ponder, submissions and tenders,
the judgements, convictions, and confidences,
sways and drapes, to choose and select,
depict and decree, or render to detain.

Saunters and strolls, rambles and roams,
the bends and turns, or twists and angles,
the curves and corners, are there to pertain,
the sun supervenes, curtail the shutter.

Chorales and choirs, reverberate and ring,
the chants and carols, breaths and gasps,
not to be hushed, silenced or retained.

The huffs and puffs, boom, soar and surge,
accenting to avert, rejects and bars, dampers and mutes,
or, the drapes and curtains,
the clutters and muddles, obscured flows,
destined to be purged.
