Silent War

I hear it all
Simply falling away
Mind’s a silent war
With time never a yesterday

Never maturing but grows
Understanding within capacity
Never-ending but flows
Only moments within proximity

I see as I would the blind
For the sighted world I fail to see
Yet I am never once to find
A truer self where one can never be

Might you define truth?
Might one plausibly exist?
Is alone enough to be aloof?
When did everyone you enlist?

It will rise, it will fall
Hardly in dear Heaven’s way
It all began... this silent war
Have you that every yesterday?
