several years ago i disappeared
behind a one-way mirror
as i stared into the past
with unkempt eyes
i gazed at the remnants of a fool’s trail
the surrounding dark comforts the stranger searching
as i stared into the past
with unkempt eyes
i gazed at the remnants of a fool’s trail
for a place far away from
the bitter frosted track where
he was welcome
to come back and try again
the bitter frosted track where
he was welcome
yet try could not so easily try
with guilt ensconced inside
the light reflected away
with guilt ensconced inside
and i was there behind
a screen of night
lay in flower
the disquiet beyond
a screen of night
lay in flower
had to suffer through for but
a glimmer of warmth
and it is only
a glimmer of warmth
to step before their reflections
now find the resolve
to live
now find the resolve
to err
to fall
to triumph
to recreate life out of life
to fall
to triumph
to recreate life out of life
