Pillar of Cloud and Fire
Only few could hear me this round
As if I had no ideas of my own
To leave me secure upon safe ground.
As if I could be summed up in a few words,
Like to those who thought they knew me,
As if I said too little, too faintly
Only to find myself behind all the words never said.
As if I said too much, too fast
Only to leave behind a weight of confusion
This round so very few could hear what I was trying to say,
As if some were simply not listening.
