The Pilgrimage: Part 7 / Phillip Neal Tippin

I lost touch with contingency
Until the spring broke suddenly.

Rather than
Letting the old,
Hemming the new
To fit my skin
Conform, grow
To Him.

A rhyme a day’s
A step away
From fleet time’s ever sway.

Plant a garden
To discover fruit

A corded heart grant
Passage you accord

When darkness covered the screen

How close can you get 
With accoutrement?

To take green umbrage 
With delight and pleasure.
