The shading of the wisp

The shading of the wisp
The crisp flair of belonging  
The inglorious peril
That ousts sparrows  
from dawning
A wayward feather  
flitting through evenfall  
with intricacy
A careless fluttering of dishonour  
Splayed  
on a misfit’s depth
The maverick
and the conformist
The intimacy
Of an impulsive fellowship
United in variance
The sharing of wisdom  
with tempered
melodious pining
entwining their life lore
to master patience  
as the ancients
chisel unvarying oath into their spirits
Complexities  
adapting the mystery
Of the history
of sellers
binding his wares in halos
Forging ahead
with the capacity  
to be refined in life  
majestic in death
Well-versed and flourishing
while nourishing his own essence
The armour of persistence  
Is the resistance to settle
for less  
than is captured
