Expanding cosmos I will never know...

Invited to see, to witness, anew, that ascribed as common.

Barrels hurled; jump crouch or furl.

Hunt. Surprise so sweet...

Fantasy forged in desire for respite…

Branded with disdain, admonished at first pass

Is that you? Blurry shadow on the horizon

Trick or treat: consider guests of equal standing

Desired pain so familiar; anticipatory alarms signal

Scene erupts, then blank: lights frenetically strobing 

That special day: world fades

Biting wind piques senses; cold permeates…

Fragile craft; feeble and beset by cruel torrent

Minds eye envisions ripple in pond

Looking farther afield a melancholic folly

Moments prior struggle imbues; inertia silently bested 

Desperate desire to grip tighter as bank beckons

Sphere of perfect lustre, waiting -protectively cocooned

Modest tentative gestures, catalysed by a novel faith

Spirit ebbs and flows on tide of joy and duty
