A Likeness Savored

The window seat provides the best view, totally open and alive with light; Each sweeping hand of clocks everywhere, remotely designs the winged flight. Crestfallen and alone the light grows dim, while birds of prey circle overhead; Every likeness corrupts the willing mind, as cowardly thoughts run through our heads. In a rain-soaked dawn the cool air beckons, to follow images savored with passionate intent; And promises kept are merely remembrances, of sullen cries scorned through discontent. An uneasy peace rises as visions before us, become missives sent down from shadowy skies; We savor this reckoning with spirits' confusion, watching conflicts dissipate before our eyes.
