If I could hide, and leave behind The shadows of my yesterdays, The sun would find a rested mind Exploring all the nooks, and ways Along the coastline of the sea; Away from all the urgency I'd stop to look where nothing was And smile a little, just because
She needs some time to get away
From all that plagues her spirit;
Each new horizon fades away
Whenever she comes near it
She must release her essence for
It’s own renewing season:
And find amelioration that
Goes past mere will
Or reason
Now, in a blaze of autumn,
Colors jolt him back to life;
He turns his back upon the way
That leads to black-and-white
And journeys through the forest
That leads on to colors new:
And looks no more for shadows
Of the nightmare he’s been through
The lie was told, the deed was done,
But just then, he awoke —
And in a blaze of autumn
All of that
Went up
In smoke
