detour

enthralling beams, trendy greens
- flickers
of lit-up woods.
grappled with a dappled light
-showcased
someone's cause.
Time was.
Awoke from the slumber
with thoughts that outnumber
the millions who stir through the hills.
Waded, persuaded. Repeated, defeated
then found new armies to wage with.
Who's who, who's where
who's in who's out
- points of conjecture
points of doubt.
Towering over the teeming wits
past fields that grow
and land that slips
A vantage point
that sees it all
Frame-to-frame
and mall for mall.
Free to swoop and free to weep
-closer to the goal we creep.
