As Darkness turns to Light-
I see a Picture of who I Was.
Ghosts from the Past;
Haunting me Everywhere I go.
The Silence of the Past-
Never to be Heard.
What's that Sound?
Screams of Little Children-
Deafening Me;
Crying for Help.
Everybody only sees a Mask;
Never the Cracks in a Mirror.
They think they Know.
Oh no-
I doubt it.
Frog to Tadpole;
Bats to Plumes.
The Past-
Keeps Falling like Leaves.
Everybody wears a Uniform.
But why?
All there is in the World is-
Black and White.
Stop-
At Stop Signs,
Every once in a while.
Before you wear a Uniform-
Leave Fingerprints on the Glass;
Clean up Specks of Dust on the Window;
And Ignore Shadows Following.
As Darkness fades,
And turns to Light-
I lay back-
To look at Footprints in the Sand.
