in the fabric, something lingering
can't be placed but ever there
over all and all over
in the essence of the night
in the dark within the light
holds its ground like a bull
takes notes and gives lessons
impedes and empowers
ask a thousand questions
none will give the answer
it's the time you heard a yell
as you drifted in the dark
when you can't see the string
but know that rocks can't float
a hidden unity between the living
as true as time and space
dimensions far beyond our own
but who's to say for sure
if I can picture it, it must be real
and if the universe is balanced
then how can life possibly be unfair?
and if all life makes but one
space must hold a hidden boundary
that blocks out the unknown
am I the constructor, or are you
am I the subject, or are you
a main character or a background character
one or both or none
an omniscient narrator
gazing on one mind at a time
over and over till the end of time.
a sacred epiphany
that few have fully found
one of terror and love
of sadness and resentment
campfires and stars
rivers and roads
darkness and fireflies.
spellbound singers cry out,
but the streets are already frozen
the souls have all transcended,
only raindrops and chariots remain.
