Evasion

Like a withdrawing Lilly
Devoid of its substantial charm
I recoil into the asylum
Of an imposed isolation

When words become a chokingly
Uncontainable extravagance,
I renounce voice and retreat
Into hibernating caves of silence

When truth penetrates and ridicules
My guarded solemn beliefs
I helplessly elude and hide
In the dark dungeons of ignorance

When the badly changing world
Ceases to inspire my acumen
I fall back on my deceased past
And fumble the relics of ashes and bones

With an inexperienced hand
When I mess up the canvas of life
I evade the caverns of existence
And begin the primitive carving with stones
