It's there -
.
.
Amidst all the intangibility,
.
Among all the lines of ambiguity,
.
All those pathways, beaten,
.
By pretense, and possibility.
.
.
It's there,
.
.
A golden line,
.
A silver rope,
.
.
A one, hidden beneath the others,
.
That carries its call to grace, woven
.
Into the tell-tale intricacies, modestly 
.
Entwined into a singular, life-line plait.
.
.
It's there,
.
.
Dangling from the rafters,
.
The carved beams, of elaborate sculpture
.
That run, in interlacing knotwork, tapestry,
.
In effigies, figurine constructs of polychromy. 
.
.
It's there;
.
It's there.
.
.
And though it may not be waiting,
.
Lingering, for some acquisitional victory -
.
Where one's inclination to pull
.
Predisposes the notion to climb -
.
.
It is, still there, perhaps less so a chain-link
.
Bridged between some edifice, and the divine,
.
But there none the less, flickering its tail 
.
Somewhere between the station of your feet 
.
.
And the immemorial expanse of the skyline.
.
.
