Concrete and glass
Water
Calm below
Crystalline wisps above
Water
Calm below
Crystalline wisps above
Amber and rouge
Blue and black
Skyline betwixt
The sky and sea
Amber and rouge
Blue and black
Skyline betwixt
The sky and sea
But I found instead
A monochromatic panoply
Of materialistic
Greed
Selfishness
Dishonour
There are places of the past
We let go
To lie fallow and go to ground
Because we no longer need them
It reminds me
That I am a small being
Existing within
Something greater than myself
In the desert
I strip myself
Bare of conceit
Bare of ego
Mine is the hand with the eye
Sure, when opportunity knocked
I answered the door
But opportunity doesn’t always knock
Sometimes, I just leave the comfort of my own home
