The Light From the Shadows

The Light from the Shadows The light from the shadows of a thousand candles burning The bright configuration of a lighthouse plainly warning Plain sight considerations of a future that is forming Contrite observations of memories of the Storming Visual continuity bent down upon my bended knee I bought the item they sold for free Before my eyes could even see The earth in all of its complexity But somehow before the game was won The notion of triumph had dampened all the fun To the point where I broke out into a spontaneous run Just to see if my neighbour was really triggering his gun A calculated manoeuvre of complicated psychological war An emalgamated intruder that confiscated the meaning of what it’s all for A housewife in the 50’s days committed to her chores, An ancient people of the land bound by sacred Laws Improvisational vocal expressions coming from a musical perfectionist Confrontational local regressions running toward the holy ressurrectionist A calming conversation with a harmless French ventriloquist A lonely man at heavens gate giving lessons about the limitless Comprehensive documents incriminating a former president Convallessive compliments discriminating against elderly residents Slightly regressive altered states that suggest there was no evidence A mood so floridly irate that it’s consumed by perpetual reticence A brave contender for justice fighting the legal system A slaves pretender for armistice lighting up a Veterans Pension The grave engendered consequence of repression and retention That saved the splendour of innocence from the mother of all inventions The Squandered possibility of a civilisation in decline The wonders and duplicity of a composition that’s purely refined The delicate complexities of the workings of the human mind An elaborate of extremities that only endurance and willpower can find The nations United against a common enemy The stations incited riots at the Garden of Ghettsemony Confrontations ignited timeless arguments of hope and possibility Infiltrations of unrequited love prone to lament in an undisclosed proximity A sigh of recollection as friendship begins to fade The rhyme of condescension at the passing of this historical Age The times of good intentions that are turning the next bright page A sign of magical retentions, a seer, a visionary, a holy sage
