Mysteries

Mysteries stretched across a burning canvas
a fire that has ravaged a once tranquil forest
filled with slumbering birds and bees
awake and curious to solve such a riddle

Mysteries playing a trombone
with deep bass lines and lenient guidelines
coloring outside the box in an act
of premeditated defiance

Mysteries unsolved and unsalvageable
resting on the bottom of deep ocean trenches
covered in fine dust created as silver hearts
crumble in the face of such a riddle
