Labyrinth Song

How can I walk unhurried through the buzz-clang-flash of a pinball world

Take a calming breath in anger’s face and spy the fear beneath

Be the steady rainbow over someone’s troubled waters . . .

Sometimes it splashes you in the face
brazen and breathtaking
as ice cold water

But how many more moments
slip by unnoticed

(for she rarely raises her voice) . . .
