angel apart
box clay
cover fix lies
moon pair simple
snatch
waves
A hovering angel over
him ever watching
With immense desire wanting to please
But his conscience was a cover thwarting
All attempts to relate to him with ease
He tried to fix a typical line of defense
Offering lies between reality and fantasy
He gave mild responses
in idyllic resistance
Waves of distraction caught his fancy
Apart from some fanciful footwork
To deflect attention from the ever seeing
He tried to snatch some hours to mock
The prowess of those spiritual beings
A simple endeavor using
a box of clay
And with wild dreams of sorcerers of old
A pair of gloves on a moon lit night he did pray
Believing that clay would be turned to gold
Only blessed gloves needed to be worn
To receive the converted gold he so desired
But with an empty look far into the horizon
seems a slightly confused guy toward what is really important in thsi world...in quest for gold he missed the real riches
