Thoughts leap onto a gray page,
color sodden parchment ensues,
let your reverie hold sway,
don’t repress heartfelt inkling,
it’s pointless whatever your slant,
bear in mind your quota,
that soars on the wheel’s rim,
we call our essential lifespan ,
an essence of a different type,
is now urgently required,
without the slightest doubt,
cast aside that dull  mindset,
root out despair right away,
challenge yourself if you don’t,
who exactly will I’d say,
pack that bag not baggage,
lethargy has no part to play,
in those great ventures planned,
one  might hardly need a map,
as the spirit duly rises,
now that wondrous mountain,
straight ahead is your compass,
it’s yours to climb, never fear,
you have too much ken,
persist, inhale, exhale, exult,
please marvel at its grandeur,
that imposing watchtower by day,
and by night a still rock acme,
intervening pathway laid forth,
stony side lane, lush mead,
dazzling dreamy noonday rush,
rapid ripple swirl and eager whoosh,
pebble plop on leafy pool,
disrupts imaginary wistful sigh,
from clueless eerie stroller,
found peering into wan strata,
where a certain latent gasp,
is pent on vapid queue,
yet isolated in eventual release,
the irony of rust iron fritter,
but the thriving urban setting,
may also hold the vital  key,
if one might have such luck,
indeed enough to find lacuna ,
or stolid gateway at a guess,
thin stream fountain arch,
lean shrub maize entangled,
interlocking crisscross market pod,
chance encounter with that ghost,
that twin pillar of the mythic like mind
