eye to eye

cryptic allegory has served quite well

to keep spirits dancing in the night

yet the break of dawn remains elusive

visibly hidden behind a veil of vapor

illumination from the faintest light

wild nature found in a cascading dell

adventure can’t exist on paper

yet the story line is quite conclusive

reclusive confines of a self made cell

taper off like the crow in flight

well informed of what is illusive

might I interest you in a caper

beguiled tales of lands made bright

imagination with ear placed to shell

reset the clock with an analog shaper

indenture me with a concerto exclusive
