Penitent

by

Thomas Granger

Breathe in the air of springtime, long-time making an excuse
To stay and watch the sunshine fade away and night let loose
A myriad of colours mix to lessen years of pain
Another blue horizon stretching out for day again

A smidgen of dementia overwhelms me abruptly
My heart begins to pound, I've found its pounding all for me
Been to be the only one to stand for me alone
That is the way I end, beginning that I can't postpone

An ambience of magnitudes suppressed beyond the light
Allowing space to separate these forms it will excite
My mind into being anywhere I do not want to be
We can't expect that anything could compare to being free

A slight existing manifold exhausting burning waste
Streaming on the edge of time, a heart that Love replaced
With tragedy and turmoil letting never now impose
Onto my small existence, making you and I oppose

I dream of my dilemma going on through light to dark
Hoping there's enough time to ignite this dying spark
But know that in the end I will suppress the flaming fire
and find the raining storm cloud with my lightning of desire
