Click hereEmbers around a Fire
Fire crackling embers burning
Little sparks wafting
in the torrent of heated air,
rising
A vortex
a place
a whirlpool
Sometimes
One looks down and sees ,
crystal waters shoaling
often the Sun
glints like diamonds
off the white capped tips of crest
waves
mayhap the wheeling singularity,
those self same vertices
that jumbled matrix
Twisted and shorn
Lovingly the hand
runs over skin freshly
bereft and forlorn
hair today and gone again
who would have thought
Taken and riven
those sightless eyes watching
Does He need to know
Nay He knows it already.
Harried fingers rubbed raw
Strings taken
pulls attempted
works Only on those
who think in a rut
immured by experience
to be a way
Who knew what He did
she certainly did not

on the screen add a dimension to this poem. I'll need to read this several more times before I quit scratching my head, but it's a puzzle worth puzzling. Well done.
