private. There’s such color, revolving scruples, settled
in quietude; but tear a storm, clever for wise, a young
swan. I hear it closely, a rapture of thoughts, moving you
towards wisdom. Lights are prismatic, even opalescent,
an uneven texture; for such for bleak, a tint of woes,
sprinkled with joy. I pause to wander, afflux an abstract,
scribbling with a crayon. You’re more for growth,
drizzling prose, nestled in dreams; for things are gray,
but filled with color, a system of what for rights? Place it
on a mantelpiece, a list of ethics, even a glass swan; but
more for sturdy, a lion’s chest, an eagle’s wings. It’s
more a six-sense, coupled with intuition, founded
through souls; so what for facts, a pavement thick, where
all are held captive. You want for stars, a probing motive,
featured in humility; but strut for strength, a sheer appeal,
a calming delight; where rain peeks, a reputed source,
ever to mold printed cultures.
