JUST ANOTHER OBSTACLE
(T. Beechey)
In between the hills and valleys
There exists a hidden wall
Separated by blind alleys
Over which no shadows fall
And this wall cannot be climbed
Or tunnelled underneath
Just when you think there's time
Fate's already laid the wreath
It's just another obstacle
That lies somewhere between
What pretends to be logical
But, in the end, comes clean
There is no sense of being
Only what you used to be
And what's the point of seeing
When there's nothing left to see?
As I walk inside the footprints
That may indeed be mine
There's an unfamiliar distance
Which defies to be defined
It's just another obstacle
That lies somewhere between
The never-ending ritual
And the final opening scene
Is it any wonder
That sanity's paper-thin
When we're measured by the blunders
That keep us as we've been?
And the absence of perspective
Truly comes as no surprise
Since hope grows ineffective
By each smattering of lies
It's just another obstacle
That lies somewhere between
All that could be possible
And all that's still unseen
