Today I outlined the memories Of a forgotten childhood And came across an accidental discovery. Down an open field I roamed. Cutting down dandelions, Aimlessly wandering, Escaping my responsibilities. I walked further, seen by a deer huddled alone. I paused frightened. Only moments ago I seemed so certain of my place. The deer flew majestically, Fearfully into the woods. I sat there wondering How I was the deer Running from the inescapable traps of time. The world is precious and golden. When alone, if we squint hard enough, The divine is dangling the muleta of an epiphany.
