Loupe

Wish me luck like I wish it meant anything at all
More layers, more prayers, a visitor in resonance
Sunlessly woven repose and recall
A wind shakes the flags of our loyalty and provenance

I roam the past in pursuit of my best mind
Through bends in the trail and dislodging gravel
Oh love is always above, beside and behind
A current for sails on distances traveled

A young century, a sense of posterity
Fair weather ventures and ancient identity
Compromised relevance, steadfast in enmity
Bartering any elegance for inevitable anonymity

Some down the line may take four hands to undo
And if mine are two I hope yours are two, too
Blissedly lie within a false field of view
Ceaseless and weak as the bonds of our glue
