The Difference Between Day and Night
once upon a rising sun
a long way to go
and casting pebbles in
unfamiliar waters ain't
always kept me dry - listening
to my ego I mean m low
sel-esteem has given me names that
don't belong to me
in remembrance of
lonely nights and seasons
where what was supposed
to be sacred act turned into a desperate
act that left me feeling
as though I am without
reason
and so I cast a pebble
of this name out into the
the waters of my unfamiliar
as I look at a painter's
skyline of setting sun
with uschias, yellows,
oranges, and grays that
fall gently into a darkness filled with stars
and my hands now empty
of pebbles
there's nothing else to do
but turn on some soft music
and rest comfortably
with the wisdom of
going solo until he,
my true, is revealed
