king of the lost and found nonetheless

Post by saw » April 29th, 2018, 9:36 am

I am the king
of the lost and found
leaving the trail
to forage for surprises
stumbling back at the end
to the beaten path
like a berserk timepiece
chain dangling with few answers
to announce to the world
but with just enough
to make me want to do it more
again
wandering
into whatever, wondering
into whatever
when a branch slaps my face
with no malice
man has no right to blame the tree
should never curse the mud
there must be a reason
and it usually isn't immediately there
like gazing at an ancient oil
hanging on an ancient wall
but filed away nonetheless
don't you just love all that
nonetheless
what a fine word....
nonetheless

One of my favorite words. Time is so weirdly irrelevant lately... The forest and the Rock is what we have.

Don't get too mad at nature. It was here first.

Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.
