contemplativeState the Day
To be known has a price
a due given to past works
glittered trinkets that exclaim
where the future may yet lay
these become foundation’s curse
basis given to later worth
even though a fuller breadth
is still there with relevance
expectations become contrite
sorrow given to circumstance
when the outcome does not match
the vision fixed upon the prize
while a range of interests beg
something else to the front
for some time in the stead
of fame’s need to state the day.
