Odd Thoughts: One Page at a Time (OOC)

[Kruger]

Space and Time

Walk the road alone again.
Shadows hiding where I’ve been.
Crossroads coming and I'm thinking.
Should I go where this road’s leading?
And turn away from the echoes of my life.
Left or right?

Please don't tie me to the mast!
Ulysses pains have come and passed.
I can hear Ithaca calling.
Waves upon the hull beating.
On the rocks, in the distance, dwells my heart.
The shattered parts.

Time behind me greater than
What's left until the journey's end.
There is still so much I have to give.
So much life I must live.
And I will offer while I can.
Take my hand!

The second hand betrays the pace.
Counting towards my time and place.
If I cry without warning.
It's the sound of my soul mourning.
Sit and partake in the music of my pain
Please remain.

In the deepest shade of night.
I am the only one for me to fight.
The blows come and I'm bleeding.
Kneeling down I take my beating.
But you, like the blood on my hands, are just a dream.
Something unseen.
