Idol in my Eye

Idol in my Eye


Held at arms reach
come to grasp
and further than stretch


It's otherworldly
and misted and shroud
with beauty and technical pose


I want to attain
and touch and be form
and as long as I see it clearly
the more it eludes


So blur my eyes
and take hold of limb
and of stance and bow


I am spinning
vision distanced
and where am I?


Hands held at a distance
not mine
but theirs
