the Square

a simple shape

a foundation

our stability 

our confident strength..

but ask we must

ask how sufficient

for our lives in

these disturbing years..

is now our time

is our honored square

more dependable

in a new light..?

dare we let go 

disconnect those corners

allow the four lines

to drift as they may..?

one mae become bold

more solid

more dark..

another fades to

a slim beam of light..

the other two

lack decision right now

end up comfortably

somewhere between..

then we notice

we cannot distinguish

which line dark

and which light..

 seeming becomings

before our eye..

 is our square

strong as before...?
