And I wonder at you and I
With all that space
We put between us
And still
We just can’t
Get along
When he sensed its presence
The bitter fell away
Illuminating the darkness
When he couldn’t
All he sensed
Was darkness
But even in the darkness
That pulsing golden vein
Kept him alive
I wonder at the lives
Lived in the glow
Which to me
Seems just a dot
Reflected
Off a still sea
Reach for the sky
Stand proud
And straight
Find new intent
If naught for aught
But to be seen
Standing here
Survivor still
Where some may fail
Yet I remain
A grand delusion
At the end of a road
A wrong fork taken
Many eons ago
I often wonder, then
Am I the blur?
Am I the shadow?
In all those other eyes
I can barely see
