SYNTHESIS.....revision #2

SYNTHESIS
 

When the Western gales did gently shout

and coaxed pansies into looking out

 crystal dew on blades of grass

changed colors as the sun rose fast
 

He stepped lightly, somewhat afraid

of walking on this purity heavenly displayed

his presence scattered the light in strange ways

while he searched for footprints of former days

He saw landmarks near the sea

that remained to claim history

times that were, carved into his mind

lurked in the core of historic finds
 

The fireflies of not too distant past

sang their song of light at last

with refrains of deep feelings

that resonated and pointed to many things
 

Things like, how he came to be

in a small village near the sea

and who he is today

and who he has become during his stay
 

He remembers the past

with nebulous memories still in his grasp

He sees invisible footprints in the sands

as the tides have erased things he understands
 

Like former times when the surf deep

attacked his tiny feet

and assaulted his newborn presence

with frothy waters salty substance
 

The surf challenged his purpose daily

beneath a sun shining brightly

and burned into his every moment

like a glowing fire meant to torment
 

The ever present blood rose

shading the sands while pleasing the nose

challenged the gentle touch of his hands

as he failed to appreciate or understand
 

The nearby saltwater that consistently diluted

his  presence until it was nearly obliterated
 and encouraged the wild stream of his life

That surely contributed to daily strife
 

His life poured out without comment

and blended itself into the vast ocean

His insignificant essence was willingly added

to the sea into which he was skillfully blended
