Passing through the graveyard, a chilly wind blows strong.
Floating by, the effects of spirits seem comforting to see.
Peace is mine alone to have. The freedom exist in my minds
eye, yet I run from it. Perplexed as it may be, it's astonishing
to feel. Basic instincts of survival is needed when your alone.
I learn to seek what my destiny, my job to protect is rusted
The blank space between you and I.......busted. A wrinkle in
the fabric is torn. Time must go on, Painful memories diminish.
Now I must run again from something that is afoot. I undertake
a role I was not meant to play. I lay down on the grass next to
grandma and pray. I envisioned past dilemmas and future
conflicts that are taken shape. I instruct myself to let go of things dear.
Such stress I am under, I say " I need a beer." I could say " Damn
the place to hell!" but I'm not in a midlife crisis here. My dark humour
is what can keep me goin'. Unsettled is my heart and future. I take
it day by day, because "What is, is." I stand up near the grave and
I look up towards the heavens and ask for forgiveness of my future
sins that will be commited in time. I leave behind a past that shall be
remembered as a lesson in life that I will ponder soon. Sanity, Identity,
and innocence bring out little confusion now. A new subject surfaces
and is not my time to embrace. Uneven thoughts race in my mind and
soul yet the air that surrounds me is warm. I leave the boneyard unaware
that what I leave is the hurt that stayed for ten years in my life. I start
anew in a world O' hurt. Determained not to repeat a past faliure I begin
to look beyond the pain. Shadows lurk in my mind and try to control my
heart with darkness. Mellow mass hysteria can happen at any time. I
know what is to come. We can't change the past and we can't look forward
to a future, live one day at a time because "What is, is."
