A Definitive Purpose

C Brad Corallo

word count 153

 

Is there a door in the

texture of the ordinary day?

 

May we osmos

through the rainbow membrane

into what lies beyond?

 

Many have tried and

many fewer have fully returned.

Is it a perilous or

reckless undertaking? 

 

Or is it our raison d'etre?

Perhaps it is a question of timing?

Is it preparation that aligns 

the singular molecular passage through?

 

Sometimes we catch a glimpse,

a window is thrown wide

and as we marvel

it vanishes in an instant. 

Leaving us, in a state of

wonder and bewilderment. 

 

Are such epiphany,

or dazzling illusion?

Whichever,

for many of us

they are invaluable treasures.

 

Drafts of the map, the lantern,

a yearning, a target.

A definitive purpose! 

 

NOTE: "Raison D'etre" is an Anglicized form of the French term that means
"reason for being." In French the first: [e] is modified by a circumflex.
