Simple pleasures rest
on complex piers
Engineered to stand against the wind,
A latticework of love that lasts the
years,
Steel lace on which we ply our passions
blind.
On certain days, however, we recall
Necessary links to worlds below,
Seasons of remembrance that with
small
Gifts of grace rekindle what we know.
Revel, then, within, and celebrate
Each tangled thread that binds you to
your life,
Embracing the regrets that are your
fate,
Traveling again the roads to light.
In such sweet seasons love, however
wrought,
Neither what you feared nor what you
sought,
Grants audience to sentiment
unstained,
So pure but treasured tinctures are
retained.
