-------_________-------------
Standing alone under an evening sky
watching the world spin around me
I see the faces of lost souls
dancing in the winds of change
and pouring through the sands of time
No one sees me standing there
Turning away when I don’t dance to the beat
or march to the drums of a thousand fools
They pretend I’m not there
whispering about me as if I couldn’t hear
just a piece of broken furniture
a part of the scenery
simply waiting to be thrown away
But there I stand
all alone to tomorrow
quietly challenging the song around me
by refusing to sing along
Instead watching as empty hearts walk along
looking past the invisible child
just standing there
waiting for the rain
And it’s there I’ll stand in a thousand years
long after the dance has carried the fools away
even after my body has given in to the grip of time
my place will remain unchanged
For I am the outcast
the one who refused the dance of a thousand fools
forced to suffer the wind and the rain
and stand transparent to the world around me
But the only one to remain
when the music stops and time marches on
grinding the dancers into dust
and scattering their memory to the winds of change
Though I’m left to an empty world
you’ll never see sorrow in my eyes
I’ll raise my glass with the other invisible souls
as we watch the last grains in hourglass of time
trickle through to the bottom
winding down the universe
letting us know our work is done
and that the ageless can now age no more

I agree with Shelby; and this poem reminded me of the Hunchback of Notre Dame... something to do with a festival and the outcasts I guess... really beautiful,

Great write. I liked the hourglass with the last grains of time.
