Confuse me
naturemusicmemorytimelovemortality
Confuse me
It is easy how
Light slowly dies
Behind deeply
Drowning eyes
Life is a matter of breathing
But to live
Is more of a promise
Not mine to give
A wish once made
Beyond recall
Perhaps too many
Were granted before
Caution
Came to call
Time changes everything and nothing
All you can do
Is look back
On what once was before you
Run the sequence through
The ending is always
The same
To the madman
A cataract lens sealed
In salt crust tears
At the day’s end
Confusion
Is a heedless heart
A ghostly companion
Somewhere
In the rising
Between bleeding borders of illusion
It lay there
Waiting for its moment
To begin
Patience is patient
In a long game
Is it too much to tell
When all is all
You still
Know my name.
