Discipline
Discipline devotes an energy
to its upkeep; a constant
motivation requires a
steady derivation,
a melody.
Audible only to one
who wholly maintains
a vision, a precision,
the song must sound
a harmony, summon a
deity whose design
holds affection in pursuit
of perfection.
Even in Sadness
Even in sadness,
one keeps
a melancholy madness -
the stubborn delight
in simplicity,
the frequent flight
of fancy -
one cannot flee it,
nor dim it,
nor abandon its charms.
But what if we could,
and what if we dared?
They could not
stop us, save us,
contain us!
We dine in our delusions,
and even in sadness,
they are delightul.
