Mistical Vision

urging swaggering sunset to conclude artful fancy
concede us darkness, tenure of astral flight.
faraway hillsides, somewhere east of elation
cordial young cowboy on worn rock alight.

prairie dog , cicadas, coati, friends they all tarry
caress my soul nearing mistical vision, away for too long.
blackened sky’s distant eyes glimmer weepy grief
as wolf bays lonely comet’s traveling song.

twine of wrapped fiber grown from seeds of compassion
form a lasso of love, cast to embrace heart’s desire
truer aim neer exist, nevertheless wishes wisped from rope’s hope
and falls bereft of your evanescent ambition from celestial empire.

dreams to embrace a shadow of dancing spectral light
a witness if they come true, dusty boots, empty in the night.
