Rightly so…

assumes some matter-of-fact.

Rightly so, assumes some matter-of-fact

decision has assessed a way to manage

what might recall, what might extract,

the cost of consequential damage.

.

Rightly so, presumes the essence of a deal

as in the unwritten lore of a lover's kiss;

as in the passionate fall that makes it feel

so real, so close to perfect as it is.

.

Rightly so, can justify a two-faced coin,

qualify the virtues of almost anything.

It can codify the principles we use to join

together the loose-ends of wondering.

.

Within Yang and Yin all things are placed;

then, “let not right perfection be so disgraced”.

.

About the Creator

Tim Grace

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
