Wonderful Spiral

Thought you were holding the golden cross
but the pot holes puncture when you set off
and the astrologers predict of stars not crossed
for love unrequited just dashes and dots

The ladders you climbed with treads that were missing
unspoken feelings the hard drive that's clicking
moments resentments and glimpses of solace
bell tower steps to join the chorus

the kite that you fly its tails reaching skyward
to the clouds of dreams seek eager reward
the Archimedean screw as history proves
bringing the crops where nothing grew

silver linings of gossamer on a path that is steep
a maze that you go down of passions false leads
spiral of wonder and hope it goes viral
DNA of a couple and not just a trial
