Life As a Parable

Life is a Parable
destined for myth
an ancienct manuscript,
inside of which
rests only brevity of wit.

Life is a parable
brought on by hopeless majesty
pointing her scepter at us:

A wave of sleep descends,
in a trance, burried as we learn
the name for colors.

Rude voices wash over us,
we remember what we never knew
and learn, as well, to tie a shoe[,]
a noose for the unicorn we sometimes saw.

Take comfort in this Parable--
rest your eyes upon this page
close, gently to the poem,
with the realization it unfolds.
