Hibernation

I am a shadow under violent skies
Dancing under illusions of self-love
As my statue remembers the day before
When reality passed by with laughter
And humility simply reasoned in silence…
But contrary to present thoughts
I am growing into substance….into life
Becoming much more than ideas or personifications,
Slowly realizing the power I truly wield,
Able to become minute and simple minded
To earn trust and fit in with the rest,
Snuggled into the palm of a hand to be thrown
Until infinity defines the limits of happiness…
Only then will I awake from this dream’s dream
To become the man, God says I should be.

Marcel

I have missed your hand here, adding definition to word.  Enjoyed the concept of being palmed into a hand, and thrown as dice...
Welcome back Keith.

we all get there eventually

some take longer than others, and I've got a long way to go still
