The Truth of Night
by
K. Landry
Cries from beyond the silenced hills
There is where the secrets lie
Not in truth that shows the lies
But under stale rockes of people's lives
Minds work overtime thinking in dreams
Making sense of what has come to pass
Filling in the incredible gaps
Between seen stories and tales of the heart
Is what lies beneath in the cold and the dark
Dreams of things not wanting realization
Remain fantasy under false compensation
When sleep fades and night is done
Day comes, a shrug, all notions gone
Explanations of a frivolous imagination
Smothers hope for further investigation
Our feet hit the ground, tangible belief
So are our lives, existing in false relief
