Fearless promises for what would come,
\nwho is amused, if not me?
\nPast debris, ashes, complete;
\nfeel the course of
\nconstant pounding nature,
\nthe knowledge, the inner tumult
\ntangled,
\nleaping out without outlasting
\nit’s own evanescence. <\/p>\n
Its own demise.<\/p>\n
Before, there was more than I.
\nIt was just this scene, blanketing itself
\nin my happiness and hurt,
\nshadows and light,
\neach understood
\nto be intrinsic to the other. <\/p>\n
We take our perversions’ greatness
\nand forget.
\nSometimes we look ahead.
\nThe sun, shadow and light,
\nhurt and happiness
\nintrinsic each to the other,
\nahead, as behind.<\/p>\n
I am helpless
\nbut still here,
\nalone.<\/p>\n
Wondering why it could be clear;
\nsunlight’s schooling streams
\nthat put that glint and gleam
\nin the eye,
\nthe dream,
\nin the shadows and the light.<\/p>\n
Sun sets
\nslowly, leaving
\nonly shadow.<\/p>\n
I must be the light.<\/p>\n
I smile, bask in the unknown,
\ntake in life and shadow
\nsilently. <\/p>\n
Serenely.<\/p>\n
There won’t be a choice in death;
\njust a game, too weary to look
\nalmost happy.
\nInto the sun-filled days
\ngleaming golden once again
\nin life,
\nin shadow,
\nin light<\/p>\n
I remain. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
