Pause of polarity interchange

Flee the scene
before the dawn
frames the escape.

Treat with plenty of faith
& you can suspend belief,
like the irony
in how it takes a cynic
to persuade.

Poetic contracts speak
for a Man,
and a lord,
between a grave;

wonders death doesn’t come
when you’re aware of some strings,
even when waves roll back,
they tend to more often break
solely to come back again
and continue to take.

A power
to turn entire coasts
into the oceans deep.

A power
of breaking chains,
and setting free
the wings of angels
and their screams,

by tossing their guarded
and posts
into the tides
of the seas.

You’re not fleeing the scene
you’re redirecting,
and setting a stage.

Think again…
or, for once
and breathe.

Remember
of the unintended shadows
fallen in between
the ideas,
the words,
and the worlds of things.

You’re only claiming
of what you can’t see
of what we can’t know.

Anything can rise out.
Anything can become again.

That’s the curse of hope
that can never leave.

Let it go
And let it be.

What a sham,

I’m still fleeing the scene.
