Failures in judgment lead to vices
Unjustified through alibis
Irrational rationalizations
Giving rise to pipe dream
Aspirations unmitigated
Cosmos to blame
For lacking narcissistic abundance

Circular swirls of dust specks
Give way to lapses in space
Time continuums of aged wrinkles
Folding in like layers
Of glass and planes revealing
Multidimensional gaps that suck
Light particles through lifetimes
To once again rinse and repeat 

Should-haves and would-haves fill corners
With cobwebbed regrets on death bed sheets
Longing and dreaming dreams unfulfilled by believing
In the story of can't and couldn't
Buckets are not made to carry lists 
They are hard on the feet and burden the Soul

Tentacles extend and wrap
Veiny vines into darkness
Into souls
Rooted, anchored
In web circuits embedded in mesh
With connectivity to time and place
 Of passing worms and voles as the spread
Enfolds Spirits

Rocks, boulders crumble
In rubble piles that
Litter my ground
Green and yellow wisps
Create fields of blooms who reach,
Grasp skyward toward clouds
Who oversee the remains of once was 
And will become
