Shade

Once I reach the top

I’d decided 

I’d trek another hill of sorts

I’d seek what ever shade was thrown

I’d not care of the noise or thorns or weeds

I’d stop to inspect flowers, picking up discarded things

Once I was discarded

grand loser

The one that rocked eternity
Is all they’ll see
Hope converted you, love converted me
I in black, you in white 
To holy onlookers delight 
The race set out before this night
We have long since won
The task at hand, my fiery-one
Persuade the other souls to run 

yet alone

I was the one with saddened eyes
Through no fault but mine own
I faced the world with broken smile
Surrounded yet alone

And then I fell into your light
And then I saw your voice 
Though all the shallow prodded me
Your depth received my choice
