looking for truth and absolution, we
find thoughts, phrases, and imaginations
instead, mixed with revelations, dreams,
and fantasies, trying to separate good
from evil in an attempt to maintain a
sustainable balance throughout life,
always hoping we have done or will
do the right thing when called upon...
we mix courage with aggression and
failure with weakness, shifting the
responsibility when we disagree with
the outcome we have been given...
we search for excuses and explanations
thinking truth a justice will prevail
when history always favors the victor
and has little to do with right or wrong;
our minds nudge our bodies into action,
we search for root causes that justify
our actions, only to find that we acted
inappropriately or too late... grace lies
on the floor with unreasoned apologies,
standing our ground when there is no
ground on which to stand, only quicksand
and water that allows us to float away
into to darkness of our subconsciousness.
