Recalling Existence

Reason regrets residual rights After all things are undone Stuck in a hole of ancient plight Even beneath the sleepless sun What is a war when we have won Just to recall displaced dead truths? What is the cost when chaos comes When such empty loss is all it proves? Killing what comes while children cry Commanding the shadows of our lie Dividing the vision that we’re one The fragments misplaced; the mirror’s gone Reason recalls revealing rays The light was there beyond the night All that we need is within the day The truth in our cycle granting sight Endless examining of the end The powerful spiral of all pain Victims of self this chaos rends Collecting the fragments that remain Nothing is dead while I still breathe Breathing alone I’m on my knees Before the love in all I see Behind the pain that will deceive Nothing is lost, I’m not alone Everything gone has come and shown That every regret has now atoned For the universe is and I have grown

excellent..I was reeling a bit with the alliteration BUT all in all excellent. Write me a Chairs Tale for the contest! How about a choir seat or a pub stool's tale? Light & Love debbie Guzzi
