Standing there
Whispering knowledge
Painfully aware.

Seeing you
With a soulless stare
Another requisition
Painfully ensnared.

At twilight
Without movement
What’s wrong

Recapture
Yourself
From time to time

Remember
Your feelings
When hope doesn’t shine

Retrace
Your efforts
When attempting to mine

Reactions
Of regret
In your shadow of mind.

Of time
Of history
Continues to betray
Logic
And reason

In a manner
So foreign
So beautiful
So strange
It continues to shine
Light
On times endless season.

Alive with breath
Employ destinations
Enhance aspirations
With all they have
Left.

Of a Saturnine reign.

Of geometric same
Is an interesting surprise
With an unknown name.
