Hanging On With No Assurances

Stumbling blindly into sunlight
Filling up with inner darkness
Straining for that long lost silence
Ringing from the foolish noise

Breathing hard on rocky trails
Nodding off to inner plans
Lighting candles after dinner
Bombing villages from far above

Observing simple fossil starlight
Blinding them with LEDs
Laughing without hurtful smirks
Sobbing softly from leafy branches

Jumping over corporate hurdles
Tripping up on contract details
Staying focused on their message
Waltzing by important minutiae

Standing up for squishy causes
Remaining rigid on silly issues
Holding firm to other’s opinions
Hanging on without assurance

Counting down to a miraculous
Betting upon the quite impossible
Standing firmly upon shaky ground
Building higher without foundation

Damming up the inner flow
Blocking out the quiet voices
Blasting apart the fearful silence
Stopping up that ancient wisdom
