***Naive gossamer abruptly took wings
towards something anonymous,
never missing the hurt
crumbling bit by bit.
The up-thrust sometimes helps
every so often.
But gravity is not an antagonist
it only serves as a chum
patiently waiting to embrace
the inexorable descent,
showering profound revelations
impelling the psyche
in unforeseen directions.
Only the sequel will be a measure
of value added or lost
or maybe the usual
both.***
