Black Widow [Hourglass]

I barely feel him on my arm

His words carry more weight

than his tiny black body.

The usual fear is nonexistent



Readily sharing his wisdom

Eagerly telling me about the

Timeless Concept.



In mid-sentence, a leap of faith to the floor

He's confident I can learn on my own

A fleeting moment of bitterness, no doubt rooted in fear

Remember, I'm bigger than you...-Gone.



Now that the glass is shattered

Broken shards lay reminiscing on the floor

The pain is gone, heart-wrenching longing

but a distant memory



Now that the grandfather clock sounds no more

Pendulum still, suspended in nothingness

This ever-present figure of worry

finally laid to rest



And I'm home, the old vision was so wrong...

And I'm home, where I've been all along...
