Sprightly
I wonder how it rolls now
On foggily obscured moors
Rock-strewn and rowdy,
Righteously wicked,
Having posted troubled bail
From a cold-minded sheriff
Who ruled those lawless lands
With a stiff left shoulder
And a pained two hips
That would not bend in the relevant directions
When it was needed all but the most
I stopped keeping time
When time was all but lost
And I lost a brother without arms
This light-minded ponderance
Is a flickering, dusty discourse
That does not scourge my blood with shame
Not these days or anymore days
Only one truth was worth it -
Worth the pained illumination -
True love's arsenal obliterates
Liquid tension's oblivion
If time be stopped by fracture
For such a revolution of the spirit
Is it not worth it in spades?
Know this glance sideways holds
No stiff contempt, now or again -
It's been lifted on a new sun's waves
Whose current has resolved the wounds
Unknown and unfelt for so many wasted years
Once I flooded them with similar waterfalls
Just as those brothers with two strong arms
Glances back reward sprightly
An aged heart with newfound warmth
Collected carefully, under the radar,
Of nicer days I might have controlled wiser
At least for the sake of a "forever-friend"
Who may or may not have parsed
Words poured from a recovering heart
And has a gameplan in mind, just busy -
But tends to stubborn inaction
Well...
There are plenty of spins yet to ride

Good morning and good find, MummyChunk, I don't remember this poet of twenty years ago at the moment.
I'm brewing my coffee and after a cup or two I might remember.
