Each of us has a personal perspective--a framework of reference that leads our dance through life. Cultures, nations, and humanity reflect their collective frameworks.
Our framework is our premise--it's critical.
The Framework
Peaches 'n Cream is an acquired point of view--an attribute held high in esteem;
from genes and perspective come desires, then beliefs--all tied up with nice pretty bows.
Ashen is subject to biased aspersions--being common among us, but misunderstood;
with transcendent appointments, often suspicious--labeled nasty, dark, and taboo.
Some of our reference is overt convention--right/wrong, good/bad, and...yes, beauty;
even these are obscured by our varied perspectives--life and love, we taint with darkness.
References most vivid are also intrinsic--the most robust, sexuality;
behaviors and mores obtusely diverge--life and love, we foul with darkness.
Perhaps we can sojourn this foreboding dark place--the place where creation is found;
and rethink our framework, and mores to boot--life and love are the light of day.

It's not the darkness we're afraid of, it's the light.
---Nelson Mandela
The Framework - Composition
Lintel of cedar, set before form--it's healing and cleansing protection.
Life's burning filament--energized by blood & bone deep within darkness.
Column of panes reveal causality casualties--building blocks set with hide.
Pedestal showcasing void without form--clay on the potter's wheel.
Spiraling arc of golden means--an embrace of dimensions profound.
Deck of spalls with dowels, by golly--all รก la a mall, that stalled a maul.
