A Desert To Wander

The subtle dedication was not to achieve isolation,

Rather, obtain clarity. 

He discovered how often they traveled in pairs,

like wings; providing lift. 

So when given to a direction, the shadow twin

offered her presence without preamble. 

a lover aching for the intangible freedom being together wrought,

so promising,

there never was enough;

when the weigh of missing seem intolerable,

time took on a prison quality,

then fleeting as a startled quail when fulfilling hopes

rendered anxious delights of union. 

Life of paradox to oxymoron then back again...

warnings unheeded, 

he would rather suffer the pangs of appetite

then find other living facets to focus his attention upon. 

In this way,

the desert of his wandering was situationally dependent

executing his quality dive into the envisioned oasis of his horizon.
