Solace

Vision cast through two panes of glass

Takes my semi-rational off track

Thank God for all these barriers here

Keeps me from seeing the past,

My heart in a place where it can’t look back.

.

On rainy mornings on wet streets

Reflections of reality, delusionally sweet

Maybe I’ll throw this out

Rush through the end just to wait

Breaking down only to find freedom in chains

.

In a moment of comfort, too fleeting catch.

And a pair of good intentions to match.

The roads seems to lead to a dead end

Leaving the traveler a choice to make

Surrendering comfort for uncertainty to take.

.

I fear and feel, I crave to learn.

Buried in all your best bets, you burn.

So search the ashes for something to hold.

Warm air deceives and the storm is near.

But what can be honest when the world’s insincere?

.

We run to escapes, we harbor a crutch

Aware of our unfaithfulness in settling for such

Unfulfilling satisfaction of our daily dose

Of things that should nourish and sustain

Still, in all of this, the desperation remains.
