The Shadows Unfold
Here everything you’ve ever known.
lies on the ground in front of you.
You cannot turn away and look
towards a new bright day out there.
We have seen all we have seen, yet
it throws its shadows dark across
the walls of all our minds, unable
to break these chains we forged, we watch
each memory unfolding here
before us, unable to turn away.
The day begins as everything
now starts again, while shadows grow
unfolding themselves here in front
of us, each watching them encroach.
But what else can we do except
let every shadow fall across
our days, while waiting here to feel
the warming light from this morning sun.
