Tunneled into Submission

Do not bereave mortality

In the quieter corners of living,

Dare to be enamored in the gall

You have to be breathing.

There's much to fret of how to be

And to what you should be giving.

 

And in humble tunes and subtle signs

We are spoken to in scripts.

But gaze too long in mirrors forlorn

And miss purpose hit and pass you. 

Rage with the world you stand in. 

 

So crowded is this ruined track

We dance and crawl and trudge on. 

And cursed is the crooked back

That wedges our focus down and wan. 

Take moment in your rigid routine

And consider all unconsidered;

Gaze upon hopeful, sorrowed sights,

And weep at what may actually may be.
