I Walked In Reverse

The dust hovering just above their souls A journey lay dormant awaiting to recoil Through their dead skin these footprints dwell Is my rhythm a curse from some ancient spell? I lived as a blind bat in pockets of dark air Between sunrise and sunset, in a vacuum of fear The arrow piercing the tremors of unspoken words The bow arching beyond the unimagined world Ever propelled forward...I walked in reverse And that step started a whole new verse It turned the known universe on its head Projected the awakening mind millennia ahead My deeds have since moved the entire earth And my feet are also running out of breath As the dust threatens to return and unsettle The moonlight illuminates the looming battle
