At The Cost of Naiveté

Self-similar
verves of time
flow from genius,
sharing floors
spun in myth
with stories of wonder
born of its own garden

verves of time
zeitgeist
spiritual parasites
that would use mankind
as man uses nature

Fl‌owing from genius
these angels
serve their own ends
in parading seasons
fighting to survive
like anything

sharing floors
sharing worlds
of our own
it is thought
some symbiosis
perhaps happens,
but at what cost

spun in myth
and hunted by masters
for their collection,
these creatures
of spirit worlds
go largely unseen
and undetected

Stories of wonder
surround and wrap lives
of these creatures
hidden in plain sight
as mysterious illness
strange synchronicity
and other reality bending
in their telling

Born of their own garden,
as man uses nature
these angels
parade in seasons
but at what cost?
do these creatures
bend reality.
