The Pacification of Me
A symphony of light,
Cascades across the sky.
I am watching time unfold before me.
Sitting on the present
My mind seems to be stuck in neutral.
I don't want to be there,
I am content to be here, I can wait.
All the worries fall away
In the grandness, in my smallness,
Compared to the cosmos I see.
And physics cannot answer my questions.
Mathematics though romantic,
Lacks the passions of life
Where I know the fire still smolders.
There the embers of former lives
Wait to be rekindled,
And a new man born to reign in my place.
It is a fine line to walk
And to speak of it is madness.
Like a ghost I have wandered my conscience
Sleeping until recently, folding my hands.
I bound myself, and let others do the talking.
I have done a disservice to them and me
They and I.
And now the paths have converged,
Allowing for a way out,
And like a thief I will steal away
All the memories kept treasured up.
Pilfering those things I proffered away,
I pawned bits of myself for peace,
It was the pacification of me.
