SILVER MIRRORS
SILVER MIRRORS
S.JENSEN© 2017
EARTH’S HUM
MY WINE
AS I SIT
KNOWING
AND NOT
ABLE TO
DO MUCH
SITTING IN CHAIR
SHARP PAIN
STILL
ALL AROUND
DEAFENING
MOMENTS OF
CLARITY
TO TRY AND
STAY SANE
IN THIS
THERE IS NO
COMPROMISE
I MUST
KEEP GOING
THE WEIGHT
OF NOT
WALKING
IS JUST
OVERWHELMING
SCARY
TO ME
AND I DON’T
WANT IT
NONE OF IT
DID I EVER WANT
DID I EVER
HAVE A CHOICE
NOPE
CARRYING
ON ALONE
HERE
IS A REAL STRUGGLE
LIVING
ON A EDGE
THAT
HAS NO GOOD
ENDING
THE TEARS OF
MOTHER EARTH
THE ANIMA
CRIES
AS I SIT AND
DREAM
WHERE IS THERE
PEACE
IN ALL OF THIS
THERE ISNT
TO BE GROUNDED
IS A EARLY
GRAVE
SO ITS FOUGHT
THE ONLY
WAY I KNOW HOW
MY WILL
I TRY TO
OVERCOME
THE PAIN
SO I CAN
DO WHAT I CAN
THOUGHTS
OF
THE CHANGES
I NEED TO DO
AND SEEM
TO BE FAILING
AT IT
EMPTY GLASS
AS THE WATERS
LAST DROPS
FLOW
ETERNALLY
JUST FLOWING
NOW
WITHOUT ME
WITH ME
AM I ALONE
IN ALL OF THIS
TRIED TO
SURVIVE
THE IMPOSSIBLE
INEVITABLE
WHERE DO I
GATHER MORE
STRENGTH
FROM
THIS THIN AIR
MIRACLE
WASHES OVER
NEVER HAD
A CROWN
TO BREAK
NO DARKNESS
TO WALLOW IN
LOVE IS NOT
THE SIN
THAT DESTROYS
ITS THE ONLY
THING TO
KEEP GOING
WHEN ODDS
ARE SO WEIGHING
AND
POWERS THAT
SO BE
ARE SO STRONG
IN THE WRONG
WHERE DO WE
PLACE A
FUTURE
TOWARDS
WHEN MY HEART
SCREAMS
SO LOUDLY
AND IS BARELY
HEARD
FUSION OF TIME
WE ALL
AS HUMANITY
KNOW
YET SEEM TO
FORGO
IN FORETHOUGHTS
NATURES
BAKERY
ALL ITS GOODIES
TO SWALLOW
AS THE WATERS
TAINTED
THE SKIES GREY
MOONS GLOW
AND CHATTERING
VOICES OF
THOSE THAT RULE
MAKING
LIVING HARDER
THAN IT ALREADY IS
SHADOWS
LINGER IN MY MIND
WHERE
IS THE GIFT
IN MY HANDS
TO LEAD ME
IN THE END OF IT ALL
DOWN A
GREAT BIG
RABBIT HOLE
QUICKLY
FASTER
IN THE FLOW
I SO WENT
AND AS THE STARS
FELL TO MY
HANDS
I CARRIED
UP
A BLISS
TO REACH
THE STAIRS
THAT HEAVENS
SPARE
SO MANY
FALSITIES
AND TWISTS
TO THE
ROOTS OF
THAT ETERNAL
DUALITY
OF LIFE
WHERE IS YOUR
CORE
KNOW WHERE
MINE RESTS
SURVIVED
ALL BUT ONE
TEST
PASSED ALL
BUT ONE
BECAUSE OF
LOVE
IT TRAPPED ME
DEEP
AND TRUE
HOOKED
LIKE A
FISH
SWEET AND
TRULY
STILL CARRYING
THAT JUG
ME AND MY
BULL HORNS
OF STUBBORNNESS
NOT SURE
IF THAT WAS
GOOD OR BAD
DOES IT MATTER
NOW
THE DARK FOG
SO ROLLED IN
AND LEFT
SO MANY JUST
GONE
I AM LIKE
THE LITTLE DOT
IN THE DISTANCE
SO BRIGHT
FROM ALL
THE PITCH
STANDING OUT
SCREAMING
OH HELLO
I AM A TARGET
FLIES GO
FOR IT
TO SUPPORT
THIS IMMUNE
SYSTEM
OF LIFE
ETCHED IN PAIN
I CAN’T SHAKE
I SWALLOW IT
WHOLE
AND
SIT HERE
WAITING
FOR WHEN
I CAN MOVE
TREASURED
DISTANCES
NEED A BROKEN
WALL
FROM A GENTLE
TOUCH
OH WHERE
OH WHERE
I LET IT ALL GO
TO WHERE
I FLOAT
OUT TO THE SEA
AND THE
UNIVERSE
SWALLOWED ME
WHOLE
BACK AROUND
TO ME
JUST ME
MY SOUL
STILL WITH ME
RUSHING
TOWARDS
THE SILVER
MIRRORED
CIRCLES
LIKE LIQUID
MERCURY
OF A DREAM
STATE
IN REALITY
SLIVERED
THREADS
WEB AROUND
AS I WATCH
ONLY ABLE
TO WATCH
ENERGY
POURED
INTO THE
GROUND
INSTEAD
OF TOWARDS
A TARGET
TIL THERE
IS SO LITTLE LEFT
WHERE
TO GO
WHAT TO DO
HOW TO
MAKE THIS
WORK
BEING ALONE
ITS SEEMS
SO IMPOSSIBLE
NOW
DRIFTING
IN AND OUT
OF MY
LOCKED GRACE
NO LONGER
HEARING
ANYTHING
MAKES ME WONDER
JUST A HUMAN
IN ALL OF THIS
ONE TINY VOICE
OF UNKNOWN
MEASURE
FROM WHO I WAS
TO WHAT ALL
HAS BEEN LOST
TO WHERE
I SIT NOW
GOING
JUST HOW
CAN I
DO THIS NOW
SO AGAINST
ODDS
WILL CARRIES
ME THROUGH
WINTER
SHOUTING
AS THE DEVIL
SAYS
I HAVE YOU
I SCREAM BACK
NO YOU DONT
DEATH CAN
COME
AND YOU WILL
NEVER HAVE
NEVER DID
HAVE
LOCKED AWAY
A SEAL
THAT THEY
SO BROKE
ANYHOW
THEY ALWAYS DO
FOR
I FREAKING
REFUSED
TO BE APART OF IT
SO I AM
CURSED
WELL IT IS WHAT
IT IS
NOW
NO BOOKS
TO WRITE IN
NO INK TO
GRACE THE PAGES
I TRAVEL
IN MY SPACE
WHERE MY HAND
STILL REACHES
OUT
TO ONE
ALWAYS
ALL I HAVE
IS NOT MUCH
IN THE SPANCE
OF IT ALL
ALWAYS
I DON’T KNOW
WHAT SMART
MOVE IS NEXT
THEY
SO LOVE
TO LIMIT
THE WAY THEY
CAN
MY CHESS BOARD
HAS THAT
DUAL PIECE
CHASING AROUND
THE BOARD
NEITHER
WANTING
TO SUBMIT
LOCKED HORNS
OF A GAME
NEITHER
COULD WIN
OH TO THE GAMES
MY BROTHER
AND I USED TO PLAY
SO SIMILAR
IS IT ALL
AGE FUSES
AS I KEEP GOING
ITS ALL I GOT
WHERE IT GOES
NO BODY KNOWS
I FEEL SO ALONE
YET I STILL
KNOW
I AM NOT
LEFT OUT HERE
LIKE SO MANY
TO CONTINUE
TO FIGHT
A UNSEEN FORCE
THAT NO ONE
BELIEVES IN
ANY MORE
TOO MUCH
DARK
I WALKED AWAY
WHERE DO
I GO FROM HERE
AS WINTER
STRIKES
HER SHARP BLADED
GUILLOTINE
AND I TRY
TO FIND
A MIRACLE
TO WORK AROUND
SO I CAN SAY
DEATH STOP
KNOCKING AT
MY DOOR
COME BACK
LONG LONG
TIME FROM NOW
TO THE ONE
I NEED
THE MOST
AND SO FAR
AWAY
THERE IS
ONLY ONE
WORD
ALWAYS
CAN I SAY
IT ANY LOUDER
I TRY TO MOVE
NEED
IS SO RELATIVE
NOW
…
SOME DAYS
I FEEL SO
STUCK
SOME DAYS
I FEEL I AM
ALRIGHT
BUT
ITS SO NOT
EASY
AT ALL
SO I KEEP
GOING
TILL I CAN’T
GO AT ALL
THAT IS
THE ONLY
THING I KNOW
FOR CERTAIN
