Hermit Crab

I know this place well

It is where I dwell

At times it can be forgotten

Ergo it is my shell

 

Reverberation fabricates strings and lines that demonstrate

Echos driven back to source with insanity to placate

 

Lessons are never learned within such solitude

Until a rupture occurs defeating meaningless platitudes

Fundamental discretion against complacent and ill-comforts

Do not take away visibility from the truth that sometimes hurts

 

Cracks emerge, illumination transcending

A surge, then an urge to crush this shell circumventing

 

I know this place well

It is where I dwell

In time I do remember

Ergo I leave my shell
