Elusive

Gazing the elusive

No form-distorting eye

Past obscuring curl of cloud

Beyond divinity or sky

Looking out into the centre

Of understanding why

Through everyday

Life's fickle sway

Lay's mortal alibi

There's no majestic motive

No reverence to bring

A lack of justly conquest

No harmony to sing

No word or inclination

I absently inhale

A fraction of humanity

Born to this entail

Like sand upon a shoreline

There are many just like me

Reckoning their massing

In search elusively

Perhaps there is no answer

None we can define

Dormant to our senses

Masked in dusts of time

Would knowing ever falter

The footsteps that we take

Ease this brief existence

Gild the choices that we make

Heedless to foundations

We glide on fragile wing

Ever cautious of elusive

And the outcome it may bring
