Fallen

I think I’ve fallen

Long ago
I used to think that I would know
Eventually
What would become of me
Atop the highest mountain peak
Where I could see the snow

But way up there
It’s so unclear
The earth does shine
From down below
I could never see the snare
All I can see is snow

And all the while
I do wait
For everything to clear

All the while we sit and wait
Trembling in fear

Victimizing
Criticizing
Breathlessly to veer
Away from chance
Away from light
It’s all blocked away

The light is gone
The tunnel long
The snow has yet to faze

Everything does tumble down
Upon our selfish hearts
We hide away
So quietly
In our crumbling caves
Waiting for the shining rays
Of reality
To show their greens and grays

When snow does part
Allowing us

To see the light of day

But maybe we don’t want to see it
Maybe its okay
To remain this unsure shade
Of off white, smokey gray

Maybe I don’t want to ever see the light of day
