Madcap

The pink siren–call of sunset
 beckons me across the lake
clouds mountains of awe
 engulfed in reflection
I embrace
I embrace; I cannot otherwise
Mystic visions
 once stood before my eyes
 and my so–called freewill
 averted my gaze
Now, humbled and tamed
 I no longer flinch in majesty’s presence
Oh, dogs, can’t you see?
 Am I alone bound to suffer witness?
