FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

I want to see when I look

And to tell the difference between the two

When it matters most especially

Seeing through the veil

Place where event and moment swing in curious union

Devoid of coincidence and accident

Incident alike

Where chance is decisively thrust to oblivion

Where detail thrives unrestrained

Tower and blossom in thrill of merge

When I listen

I want to hear

And to comprehend substance there-in

Encoding

Decoding

Each frame of film scrolling past in trail

Intricately exploring distinction between words

And essence

Motion and progress

Concise

Rhyme of shades and flavor

To feel when I touch

When I step into

Events and moments defining

That I may count

Literary

For such a time as this

Rising up to occasion
