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...
