Subzero

Subzero             1/13/2016

An aberrant oddity

Streaming outside of time

Thoughts and ideas

Flashing through my mind.  

There is no point

In trying to be everything

So instead I remain

As I always was
And want to be.  

Crippled by life

We drag our feet

Reaching out in darkness

Stumble, bumble.

Viewing everything

Through the eyes of others

While mistrusting

What we see

And know. 

Defensively swinging

At someone to blame

Rather than questioning motives

And overcoming the shame. 

Wasting time

And wasting our minds

We become disillusioned

And trapped in despair. 

What would we know

If we dared to search?

And what would we do  

If we found the truth?

If they looked

They would have noticed

The signals in the forest

Desperate messages

Of the caged

And dying.  

Kept forever

And forgotten

The first to be left

Long ago behind. 

White is black

And black is white

Light for darkness

And dark for light. 

A long time dead

But more alive than ever

As we all pass through a pin hole

And open our eyes.
