Assumptions

Assumptions
David J Walker

The days of emptiness 
Were words I could not speak
Dreams that had no depth 
Death that could not wind 
Nor bind the time
Around the mantel clock  
Lost restless sleep

While
 
The pendulum has peaked
And reached its furthest view
Tomorrow's paradigm was seen
In twilights past the in-between 
Exposing what is new
Assuming it is true
