Truth is
by Ru
(written 2008)

Truth is liquid.
like a ripple ever expanding outward.
it changes color with each word.
movement gently shifting .
illusory abstraction evolving.

Truth is evanescent.
like the false scent.
that glides in on the wind.
elusive and unattainable
like smoke wafting out from a pipe

Truth is ever evolving.
it defies rhythm
refuses to comply
like a chameleon it conforms
to convenient surroundings

Truth is inconstant
tottering and wobbly
like a colt's first steps
tentative and dubious
asserting it's claim on the world

Truth is elusive
changing with the times
mutated and transformed
shifted through a duplicitous screen
many facets sparkling in the light
