All That I Am (poem)
Let me loosen on you a thought I made
A thought I made
A thought I made
-
It came upon me while watching something outside
Outside the window of things I’m normally used to
Normally used to
Normally used to
-
I stepped beyond this person which I was
Was this the call of moments now beginning
Beginning conclusion of purpose undone
Purpose undone
Purpose undone
-
Almost forgotten were the tears warming my eyes
Eyes which followed the seasons to shadows
Shadows of streets I once walked to this
This youthful delusion of all that I am
All that I am
All that I am
-
Almost forgotten was the hope and the trust
Trust of people who believed there was so much more
More than this endlessly brief ticking of time
Time painted in glories by tomorrow’s hands
Hands whose faith and caring has all come to this
Has all come to this
Has all come to this
-
Dreamer forgotten waking to face winter’s winds
Winds from my memories loosed from their walls
Walls which were woven by things now unknown
Unknown perhaps because I cannot hear the truth
Truth calling from harsh mirrors of illusion
Illusion which will guide me to this end
