Here I stand with every tool
Equipped and good intentions
Only to find parts broken
Outside of my scope, skills wanting
Unable to make right such wrongs
Choking on the words of promise
But if I could I would I whisper
this is beyond my abilities
I place my tools inside their drawers
I'm sorry.

Ignited, one burns to die
Then from ashes, rise again.

A tear falls, it's end evaporated
Invisible it reappears in the heavens
Where it returns a torrential downpour

What happens if they each
Bear the other's as witness?

There is a tool
A master holds
It is that that makes
Immortal from a mountain
The masters know
The way to move man
To infuse the stone
Chip by chip that falls
Until the hidden face remains
Time means nothing to those
The master chooses

None of us really know do we?
Even the greats had to wait
So we flounder and hope
Assume then reassume after debate
There are those that want more
Others that grow bitter some jaded
But they wait as another way
Is known not any less than fully
From which is a step too far
Breaking this plane to be taken
To be trapped where ever, whenever
Then is and where we all go
So unknown here tethered
Separated by such a thing as fate.
Even the monsters that prey upon
The devoted, the imitated, the common
Boggle about doing this and that
But really wait.  We wait .

Who to ask?

But I know no open questions.

If I really knew why I don't?

So long ago I forgot my reasons.

Time needs no help to pass

won't two wrongs then?

Admitting weakness is daunting, difficult

One must be strong.

Being weak won't excuse this?

Character flawed?

make me certain.

Anything must be something?

More than worthless.

Maybe that's it?

To be certain.

The very wavelength you create
And fortunate eyes; windows of
Note your brilliant spectrum
Opposite; unseen mine.
To be a single blinks worth;
To fill heaven's skies

If possible I want to be in your storm
A single forgotten drop amidst
Torrential downpour of undeniable.
Lies like lightning, pain like thunder.
I'd be trying to fall while part of.

What am I next to such a magnetic pull
Negatively charged and in awe of.
Ferro fluid in a bottle of want.
Played with until bored
