Life’s repetitive design
of pattern over pattern
can distort or refine.

Ripples ‘cross the superficial
mask those running deep
as design veils essential -- 

Confusing resolutions,
iridescent flickerings
of life’s evolutions.

To superimpose love o’er pain
shifts the grid to divine
from merely mundane.

The irony of the scheme,
with perspective’s view,
is that the components seem

insignificant to the sum;
their effect evident only
in the final outcome.
