All That Has Begun Again, by Portly Bard

All That Has Begun Again

Patterns springing out of blue,
here eternal we can view,
pieced together, seeming whole,
climb to lead returning soul

to heavens granting fleeting berth
as legacy becoming earth,
a cosmic germ of life evolved
to consciousness still unresolved,

struggling to behold its Grace,
clinging to its time and space, 
seeing self as bloom and seed,
living gift of future's need

to know more clearly where it's been
as all that has begun again.

Portly Bard

Old man.  Ekphrastic fan.

Prefers to craft with sole intent
of verse becoming complement...
...and by such homage being lent...
ideally also compliment...

Ekphrastic joy comes not from praise
for words but from returning gaze
far more aware of fortune art
becomes to eyes that fathom heart
