Designs That Captivate
My eye.
Some patterns adorn my persona
Designs that captivate my eye
Decorations that adorn my mind
And perfect clouds that sweep the distant sky.
Then, there are patterns of behaviour.
Changing like the wind on autumn days
Cool changes drop temperature readings.
Morning mists and evenings of blue haze.
Subtleties and scenery create the atmosphere.
Along with feelings of delight
The softening shadows of evening
Create patterns massaged by the night.
Some patterns attract my senses.
And other markings imprint in a song
Some songs that invade my mind
Often tell me where I belong.
Routine is a method I maintain
Patterns I set up and follow each day
It provides me with a sense of achievement.
In a smooth, serene and calculated way.
Patterns form shapes and influences.
That regulates and determines my life.
They perch in my mind like bluebirds.
And sometimes cut deeper than a knife.
Steep waves climb up the horizon.
Then, send out ripples to the sea.
Forming in patterns of breakers
Washing the shore, for my sore eyes to see.
