Awakening To Sadness
Quick-tongued
Serpent man
sign of the all-wise dragon
When he hits the kill switch
impossible ceases to exist
He holds it all
attuned and atoned
he made every step
all on his own
just a tiny part
of what I've shown
sent them into a primordial madness
from my many zany actions
Fled from the gates of hell
the angel was sucked
into my nightmare
as I'm right there
in front of her
she calms it slowly
as the old me
opens up like a door
the dream flows steady
when I'm ready
I feel the vicariousness no more
Now I am real, really here
hardly caring
how I'm behaving
how calm sleeps my Dragon
I dare to wake him
mystified by the anomalous
entity that tamed him
I silently retain him
in an empty cage
to graze upon the skin of my shoulders
I never look back
I just grow older
and put distance on my woes
