In our periphery

A wisp, a wary
Weave in but far more away
From the transient sparkle
Of the dance;
The weary and gifted glance 
Into a life
That is not ours.

You say life is complicated.
I say life is simple
But circumstance
Circumscribes and circles
Me, always;
Such is my lot.

In life, we have moments.
Quick, shocking,
Unexpected,
Beautiful
And awe-ful, terrifying
Trysts of what we want
And what deceive
Us,
Glittering in front,
Behind
And in our periphery.

But most importantly,
There are moments
We feel the awe that is with us. And just
For a moment,
We just
Let it be. When we
Forget all else, we are

Alive. May we
Be so unthinking
As long as we can be for
There is, just, nothing else.
