Such as This

Such is the way of mankind
to create such beauty,
and destroy it too.
Such is the way of the mind
to make prevailing a duty,
and praise it too.
Such a cellar door can open
to vaults of the mind
with strokes of a pen.
Such a young dreamer pursues his peace
with such hope,
and such needed release.

Release, away from such horror,
entangling himself in it,
or something much worse.

-Ryan K. Fuller
