Competing Spirits
Competing spirits move about
seeking a patron, loyal scout,
trailing branches down wooded road
with blessed prod or cursed goad.
Tempting teens on a risky route
competing spirits move about.
Looking, lead in a lustful way
mean spirits look for waves to sway.
Guarding with a license divine
safe spirits shield a tender vine.
Competingspirits move about
guiding, girding the naïve sprout.
Until the forests all close down
two warring natures will abound.
Sheer zeal keeps each from bowing out,
competing spirits move about.
