from the shadow within
By whisperer
grains of dust by the millions entertaining gusts of wind before they fall
to the floor and final rest
that is
until they are recycle into the whirlwind of life and death throes
the passion isn't lacking
it's stacking and growing painfully around us in the light
sleeping at night
what was here before the burning, awful brightness
nothing
darknes
black
just like life, the light is not forever
not timeless
there was darkness before and there will be afterwards as well
as for us
the shadpws of men and women
we are nothing but extentions of this blanket of blackness that stretches
forever
that never ends
there are those of us that still fight to know why
and how
and it's the world
aye
the very earth beneath us
that has turned against it
too many blind
hopefully they will see something sometime
to many walls
under
over
around
or through
walk we must
or crawl if needs be
but on we must proceed of we are to get anwhere
if you shed blood
set the price igh if you don't give it freely
walk the road
and keep walking
ye'll not regret it
then my whispers get interrupted
somethig begins, something stirs inside
remarking on how the shadow ust runs to hide when the light is turned on
but notice this
notice how th darkness around the light sources condenses
and coils like a spring
then shut off the light
it's always within your power to do so
open eyes and honey covered lightning forked tongues grow longer
deny that mountain it's sacrifice
it will try to take it from you anyway
just remember that the gaze of the Rowan is wisdom
but the rolling stone
or stone cast
is folly
things can be seen in the darkness
not everything can be sen in the light
listen carefully when the shadow speaks
his words are hidden
her words have meaning behind
glass jars of empty space hold the world in a nutshell
infinite space in a grain of sand
time runs all too slowly through the eyes
if at all
the king is always three spaces away
you'll have to change the game if you want to checkmate
broken branches beat out wisdom rhythems on glass water drums
forgive the one who rights you
it was not an accident
clemency is given to those who need it
you only get it once if you just want it
and remember to stare into their eyes
only there will you find the answers you seek to forsake
now
turn on the light
awaken
and set me free
