Just

Author: AnnBrown

There seems before me an unending abyss
Thoughts waver on in transperancy
I don't know them

All life seems everywhere all at once
And I am waiting to view even just one scene
Completely

But time stands from his distance, his finger pointing
Shouting surreptitious things
I don't know him

In all honesty it seems not a moment has passed
Yet fate draws in her breath with a harrowing countenance
Like all is ending

Where was I, all this time contemplating
Watching leaves falling from trees
Candles burned and my eyes faltered with worry
And I thought: Just let it be

Moments become an unending series of events like dreaming
Shifting in sometimes catastrophic positions
Where I cannot discern meaning

Like memories of lives lived and still yet to come
Catching at the fabric of eternity
Openly freying

I am not yet convinced these shadows are as disturbing
As their presence continuously makes me feel
I don't own their freedom

In this sense they are anthropomorphic contingencies
Harnessed to the graveyard of diabolical plethora
Where hope is failing

Have I any part in this, fate all this time waiting
Watching me trying to come to my senses
As I stood far too many times at the edge of my soul
When I thought: Just let it go...
