During adulthood, life is full of decisions
until a twig snaps, choices involve compromise
reaching out for help, showing weakness and not strength
involves acceptance, the scalpel makes incisions
neatly into flesh, surgeons know how best to cut
gutting a salmon, fishermen are just as wise
age before beauty, meaning shared by a wavelength
distance frames context, perspective lost in the past
until a twig snaps, past memories know not what
limits clear vision, the horizon of pure thought
tremble before dawn, the death-dealing blow of change
hindered by mistakes, choice trampled by the onslaught
opportunities, where rifts in space-time estrange
orderly process, nothing beautiful can last
demons bedeviled, in turn, spirit awakens
liquid into gas, the unforgettable voice
ignorant, drunken, strikes the ears with a whisper
forgotten in time, dragons devour fair maidens
each metaphor screams, distress addresses the crimes
inhabit a sense, belonging offers a choice
suss the connections, suspicions of a drifter
forget the word-bell, the next morning dawn rises
understanding chance, a harbinger of these times
limited motion, appeal to a higher power
limited choices, a selection from the cull
objective design, the ideal in the high tower
forgiveness pardons, clemency for a seagull
deliberate weights, balance scales with surprises
enter the courtroom, receive the sentence as 'life'
cloister a harem, nuns kneel to perform service
indeed, this is rude, crudité fromage in France
sinister sister insists as an incest-wife
insubordinate, defiant until the end
obey the whisper, unpredictable, nervous
notice the horses, ears twitch with excitement, prance
suddenly, a laugh catches God off-guard, ascend
