Imperceptible

Apathy
I surrender all
Questions

Violence
And find solace in 
As is

Oscillation
To realign the 
Path

Immediacy
I give up the
What ifs


Deviation
Nonetheless 


A Post Script



I AVOID 
Those butterflies
Churning inside 

I know

The river
Changes course
And sometimes
Fences too

      I tried a different mode of expression here. If you remove the first letter of each stanza still the flow of the poem remains as it is.

    The post script-- 'I know...and sometimes fences too" along with this amazing illustration of a melting moon have put me in a zen like mode; the wisdom of knowing nothing lasts forever is so liberating. Thank you for sharing this beautiful reminder.
