Running through such shades of grey, we face the dawn alone |
Shadow Run A life spent in a shadow run, from one line to the next; ink faded 'neath a brighter sun, bleached, bleeding 'tween the text Between the lines 'midst swathes of white, washed clean for folks to read Hiding, anxious, in plain sight, the points we won't concede such power you can gift someone, they yield without thought; left powerless, out in the sun, divided where we're caught Caught between the things we want, things we didn't choose Holy, fought... a grail's font, control, we have to lose In fear we must be consumed, in doubt, a mind will scry; in others eyes, the light resumes, in other hearts we lie A part left for safekeeping, sleeps, the best we have on show Some will stay, some play for keeps, whilst others barely know Aware of who is squatting there, a ghost of what could be; if authors used dark ink... would dare to let their readers see To see, to touch, to leaf on through, our braille raised well, fount To give someone the truest you, an honest, candid count but feint moves just net reveries, sometimes they call our bluff Sometimes faint ink lets memories most times... it's not enough to keep our heads above the line, with quicksand climbing fast Best we know where hearts allign ... it's best with souls that last through dead end turns and cul-de-sacs, a type face, heavy... lead You can't move forward looking back, that's not the way you're head You can never go back home they say, can't go back to the start Running though a shadow play, the darkness plays its part Controlled, remote at midnight's end, attuned to life, so frail Shied away from sunlight's bend, cold ink, it dries so pale with questions throttled, answers mute, thrown bottles, out to sea This fear, we're alone, acute, when hope can set you free Life cycles set to tumble, spun, recycled and reused; With lines lost in a jumble, run, of syntax, so confused where words and letters overun, they mumble 'tween the text A life spent in the shadow run ... from one line to the next |
