solace comes

solace comes
in various settings
one, a featureless box
rows of chocolates filled
with secret yearnings
another, in mountains inhabiting
the orbiting moons
of a planet in transit
to where we can't know
it relishes its journey
never peaks ahead
or sighs for what lies
behind
yet another,
the heart of your seeing
the light that comes to kneel
before you, opens its petals
of silver and moonglare
shows you wherefore and wherehow
the basic symphony
that will cut the stranglehold
of your unnatural fog
