The View from Here

Chased by
invisible ghosts

the sounds of the past

hurt 
and pain 
and failure.

love 
and beauty 
and solitude.

simultaneously

because all at once
we are living
and we are dying
and we are calling out for attention
by being alone
waiting for
the twisted hand of fate
to act,
once again.

once again
seeking freedom

once again
asking the question

to know life
to know oneself
lost inside
the sickly sweet,
pink hue
of an evening sky,
rotting,
like forgotten cotton candy floss
melting over the horizon.

it's different
in every place we've been
yet disturbingly the same.
enough to make you loose your mind
on a Wednesday night
just to figure out
what it all means

and where to go

from here.
