." . . and the iridescent image swims through a mirror that flows.” - Stanley Kunitz from his poem King of the River.
Iridescent means: showing bright colours that seem
to change when you move or look from a different angle.
Failing lights follow the rocking of the boat.
It reserves a thought for what is in store in the morning.
One feels the concern for the guilt for not coming
back with a decent decision and looks like the
iridescent image swims through a mirror that flows.
It appears better from the other side and then the
other, depending on the movement of the sun earlier
Is it with full abandon to just raise both hands
and prepare to give up.
Many have walked this path. Many are familiar with the
underlying frustrations of not being satisfied with the ones
done lately. Time constraints may not be the reason.
It is perhaps to throw everything to the winds and to see
what is giving way. Building walls around one's options
may not get the desired results. It stifles growth and that
is not good at all!
