27 | "Ceremonious" [pantoum]

Departures are so ceremonious
antiquity brims to the skin
the single note isn't melodious
till change lets the sequence begin
antiquity brims to the skin
in jewels and fretwork and chintz
till change lets the sequence begin
with jaspers and poplars and flints

in jewels and fretwork and chintz
the qualities of beings are featured
with jaspers and poplars and flints
till soon all the meadows are creatured
the qualities of beings are featured
the movie is shown through your eyes
till soon all the meadows are creatured
and birds make their homes in the skies

the movie is shown through your eyes
its start although lost to the world
and birds make their homes in the skies
fish spring in the waves freshly curled
its start although lost to the world
its mid becomes vast and commodious
fish spring in the waves freshly curled
departures are so ceremonious
