Forever Clouds

Forever Clouds
by Ted L Glines

Only a minute ago
I could see forever
and now muffling fog
fills my mind.
Only a brief minute
- what -
history and destiny were one
universe unfolding perfectly
now I cannot see the cliff
before my feet.
For one brief instant
the movie of life
froze on one clear frame
still-life of clear truth
epiphany
- happened -
the movie played on
brownian motion
forgetfulness
and I cannot
get that moment back.
Only in a child's mind
is truth pristine
really good or really bad
no grayness blending
- to -
fog what is clear
pure and so
un-sophisticated
unaffected by
doctrines or policies
which lend masques to
wrongness
which hide the crystal clarity
of simple
- truth -
