The Unlucky Outside Shade

They can feel you falling away,

Never longer the same, Never longer,

Unable to break,

And may someone who feels for you,

Help you out of the rays of the sun,

May they help you glide by its shadows,

For the most obvious reasons,

Though that very few

Can purely

See

 

And so with those thoughts I swiftly walk by the dark street,

With a light in the distance but so far away its,

Dimmed to me.

 

And so I think for someone else,

Not myself

For once,

As I hear the baby cry its cry and sob its sob,

While I walk,

As I hear some other mom tell her daughter,

That next year it won't be a school night,

Next year she can sleep over,

Next year she can do this

And do that,

Just be prepared.

 

And so with those thoughts I swiftly walk by the dark street,

With a light in the distance but so far away its,

Dimmed to me.

 

Sometime afterwards,

I'm hit by the intoxication of imagination,

The visuals that form spontaneous speech,

And words that form anything but sentences,

Though they form expression,

Nothing like this, though.

 

And so with those thoughts I swiftly walk by the dark street,

With a light in the distance but so far away its,

Dimmed to me.

 

And So I'll walk again,

Maybe in this night or,

Maybe in the upcoming day,

Well really,

In the upcoming true episode of life that hits me soonest,

Nothing of the sort regarding the past,

Nothing of the sort regarding now,

And nothing of the sort regarding the future,

Whatever hits me that is a timeless presence.

 

The whole problem is that the timeless presence is one of a kind,

One of a kind that barely anyone is willing to find,

And I dare someone to slash me blind,

The timeless peace that is yet with my life aligned,

Will find me when I find it
