Realization

when all of this is over
and still the answer lays deep
a start without a finish
that would not let me sleep

we didn't get any closer
we didn't get any closure
a surface dive for pleasure
that brought forth hidden treasures

somewhere in the mountains
you lay out your golden plan
while nestled in the valley
oxidation slowly creeps

corrosion locks it all in tight
rust won't let it move
sadly, as the monsoon pours
realization stays there too
