In the element of time
With the dust ridden skies scrapping on the outskirts of our world
We pass her by with no looking back twice on the rusted shallow turf
Of all the blinded candle fiddled peasants I find I can’t breathe in the best
For the falling of my stumble cross bidden around my neck
Or the overturns of my unforgivin sins of the yesterdays
But all the same we pave the road we knock on with each burdened down step we take

So where does it all come from, what does it all mean?
As if the yellow brick road truly takes us back to our comfort zone we call a home
No I find it leads us down many more roads we leave behind in question
and wonder does this all lead to misery or a sense of hope at the end
I could fight it eh? I could fight for the best of this misery
But once won than what? A face looking back at me in question as to
why I happen to be on their porch looking up at them as if they are a trophy

Than finding myself stumbling off their porch in more pain than when
I first landed the job of overworking myself to get them back on the same
page as we were from the start.
Okay from the distance it all seems just a blur, till you actually find yourself
in the middle of it all and wonder how the hell you got there in the first place
Scratching your head in question as to why yesterday you didn’t see it as
you see it now

If I could explain in any simpler words of what I have come across
Then maybe I could change what haunts me from my past to better my future
But I guess in the end it just all goes away anyway, the elements of time
and the frozen chords I left outside when trying to turn back on the lights
the day of the storm that changed not only my life but others as well

So now I sit back and cross my legs in thought of what could have been different
but maybe it wasn’t meant to be different and I’m meant to be right here
where I’m behind this desk with a screen in front of me and my fingers typing
a mile a minute preaching of the obscene things we humans go through daily
in our over animating lives , and for some extremely dull lives which ever you
prefer

Hmmm I can’t necessarily say I’m the only one lost at what is to come
I see you looking back at me with a blank stare that matches mine
in hopes that what we are doing today pays off for happiness tomorrow
or that’s what we’ve been instilled to believe the least to say
Well for now I see it as our best shot, so I get off my chair close this page
and smile about the challenging mountains ahead waiting for me
But God knows I live for that, for what is life without the unpaved roads

I do not need shine or wealth, just a pen and some paper for my health

I'm bumping this poem ahead because I enjoyed it and I don't want it to be lost before other pipsters have a chance to read it.
