The Sweet Enigma of it All / Poems

THE ENIGMA OF IT ALL

The enigma of it all stood up and
spread out its feathery arms

All the doubts and gnarly creatures
disappeared from around it

fleeing into scarlet woods and
back into weeping trees

The resplendent enigma straddling the
two worlds and all the others

intersecting them in the tiniest
details of our lives

the true enigma in puzzling feathers

the one of heavy tread and light
repartee

who holds conversations in our heads
yet contains the golden knot of

perfect explanation in its core...
