where one has been

mistake the angle and things will go green

your heart will turn so many complex ways

yet nothing focuses on the unseen

 

a master moves his pawn to seize the queen

while rookie player looks on in a daze

mistake the angle and things will go green

 

with envious laughter breaking on the scene

as every eye is lost in the blue haze

yet nothing focuses on the unseen

 

appearance of what seems to be a clean

fracture of moments what will now amaze

mistake the angle and things will go green

 

into the water where the sharks convene

hungry as ever under your bright gaze

yet nothing focuses on the unseen

 

keeper of hopes that say still they mean

honest exposure and true wealth of days

mistake the angle and things will go green

yet nothing focuses on the unseen

silver dragon

 a silver dragon rests on the dry lawn

marking the place beyond which we must go

to find those facts that each would have to know

 

simply to choose between the prince and pawn

since the bright river cannot cease its flow

a silver dragon rests on the bright lawn

 

catching each colour as night turns to dawn

though every movement of the foot is slow

yet steady hand will need to make the throw

a silver dragon rests on the dry lawn
