Decisions True tangled Gordian thoughts entwine Amid labyrinthine paths that wind Sliding sledding serpentine To assay value and extent Braid a mind a shoreward end Seeking weeping thrashing send Infused with knowledge deep and sound A consciousness cogitabund Within the portals self confined Disconnected judgements breed Diffuse journeys often made To darkened places Where no light Of vision lucid sparkling bright Will penetrate and seem so safe Writhing heavy leaden womb Elusive dissolute abound Reclusive and so moribund But in the darkened space there seems A distant tendril sparkling white A reaching focal point to strive To make that leap Great grasping bound Wrapping arms so safe around Clasping forgone lines abandoned Sublimating impasse upward Strength of purpose Welling forward Great eruption spewing outwards Lava flowed eureka moment Spreading outwards Flowing downwards Cogent sentient live born Brewed in darkness Drinks the bright With clarity and strength unite Dazzling brilliant shining moment Cowin’ Hell I bloody done it ©2009 Robert Clapham
