silver, eager, bright -
they move quickly into any shape suggested.
When you observe their shape,
they take that image in,
use it to reinforce the picture,
make it seem more true
When you assign a cause,
a reason, a history,
they weave that in, too,
till you might think they had existence
independent of your thought,
might find them to comprise a solid obstacle
They mean no harm -
they live to serve -
they don't intend to trap you -
give them the guidance
to shape your truest hopes -
they'll shine them forth
in beauty and delight.
