soupy morning mist
drapes across mountain valley
peaks play hide and seek
The path you
Take
Is one you
Make
Hatched in your
Mind
Revised through
Time
Converging, diverging
Ever
Emerging
ready to party
decked out in finest attire
looking pretty posh
but a smattering
golden against balding rock
fall makes its entrance
fragile cacti blooms
here today gone tomorrow
transient sunshine
lifeless silvered pine
marks endless passage of time
stubbornly erect
ice encrusted world
makes for treacherous footing
cardinal needs YakTrax
Time and again
Those in the public eye
Wielding great power
Through accrued
Fame and fortune
Have fallen
Short of the mark
Letting us down
Miserably
In the quest for
Exemplary models
The focus could be
Narrowed considerably
By concentrating
The search
Much closer to home
It is within
Common people
That
Uncommon goodness
Often is found
Is
Darkness
But the
Absence
Of
Light
Or
Light
But the
Absence
Of
Darkness
Vibrant
Fanned
Till hard freeze
