protecting vitals ...
life, hope, dreams;
will and belief ...
sanctity of spirit ...
threadbare sleeves,
prone to elements;
abuse and dis ease,
fearful and fragile,
cunning and agile ...
deliberate momentum ...
silted with time,
flowing onward -
sanity, clarity,
reason nor rhyme ...
beyond presence ...
sight;
agitating,
anticipating -
too smart to fight,
too tired for flight ...
