Again
Againthe structure of me..
is all i'm..
is the building i build
to be what i'm..
across the years
stone by stone
i built myself
some walls crumbled
and where built again..
so many rooms and so many chambers
that fill this structure..
events to see and others to remember..
as i walk through this structure
every wall.
every stone..
every window
and every spot..
i see a part of me
the structure that is me..
that building that still has more to build
perhaps i may now
move into the dark rooms
where there is no light
no wind..
just darkness and gloom..
the weakness i feel
the numbness i sense..
which takes away
all of my senses..
i look at the door where i know i must get out from..
i know behind it lies the light..
its where i always went to..
the light..
the wind..
the clouds and the sky..
are the things that make me live by..
remembering how much i gave
perhaps i never learned to count that..
or even think of it..
i only did it cause its me..
a shout..
silence..
then a cry..
a tear slides down..
and stays there till it runs dry..
shattered into pieces i'm right now..
on my feet i must get back on but i can't right now..
shaking and trembling inside myself..
i don't know what to do
or where to go..
taking a deep breath..
shaking it all away..
its still there..
its not easy..
to shake the pain all away..
to make the fear fade away..
i walk to the door with trembling feet..
and as i open the door..
the light strikes me..
i'm engulfed in the light..
i'm taken by the wind..
i'm no more there..
i'm back out there..
i'm back..
i'm back .. again..
