This Is All To Come
As I run,
Dense clouds of sound will
Descend and surround me.
Soon I will be forgotten and
Soon I will be scared.
Soon I will slow down and start walking and
Soon I will keep looking back and you
Will not be behind me,
Nor will there be any chance of you ever being behind me again.
So I will be alone forever.
I will be as alone as the truth
When it stands up for justice
In the face of an onward torrent of tremendous tyranny.
Solitude
Is a sedated soliloquy of sedition
With no known struggle to fight against.
Isolation
Is a laceration
Of a broken heart almost
Mended but unable to ever be the same again.
This is all to come.
For now I will sleep all I can
Because I cannot bear time anymore
And cannot wait to be timeless,
Even though I will be, as stated,
Alone forevermore.
