Lost and Found

Literary Den Submission ~ Summer of Writing 2010:

45 lines
Found:
One hour from nowhere, one mile to go there, one smile in sunshine, led by fingers tracing a line,
As he scratches among the dirt for pieces of humanity, a puzzle of immense importance is discovered, choose right or not at all, the difference is irrelevant to those that fall, picking up pieces, pieces of time, small but significant arranged in a line,

Signs of morality and sinners for life, pick up the phone, put down the knife, To sit just to be sat, along a river, atop a lofty perch, gazing at the steeples of a bell ringing church,

My mind is awash with thoughts of duress, no job, no money, social unrest, a light shines from a land of cloud, hills and streams a chance to be proud,

A lily immovable on raft of water it lay, from dusk to dawn way out on the bay, normality rises and falls with the tides of spring, follows the seasons, and the lunar ring,

Foot prints left in sand where you stood, images of fire and pagan in hood, the eyes of the cosmos beams and shines, awakened by darkness but asleep by 9, illuminated by fire, a beacon of hope, the all seeing mirror of life and elope, names in the sky and words on my lips, the end of love, a momentary eclipse, speaking to stars so difficult to see, expressions, admissions a chance to be free, what is that shape, tracing a line, a face a name, so beautiful.., that used to be mine,

The end of this tale finishes in my head, Cause its there that real magic happens, Where fantasy is fed, Normality is such a formal word, leads us to believe that were all going to be cured.
