Branching Off


There in the distance between trees
A folded brush of a trail
In landscape removed of man
Past the shadows of tilted life
Sits he who knows 
And he who grows
Like the oak of timeless reach 

Enveloped in shrouded darkness lending from arches of rock
The aura of silent thought screams in the abode of wisdom
Lo there in amongst conjured manifestations 
Bones of his soul extend in support of long reaching sight

The construct of the norm 
The expected
The followers place
Found strewn on floors of the world left behind 
Like the carcasses of dead after a battle on mountain plains
For he faced them
In the final stand of his metamorphosis 
Shielding lobs of fearful throws from the mob of "normal" life
Shields arm connected to the core of true identity 
Belief; the cavalry driving torment into retreat

As the dust settled into crevices of his thought
His name renewed
His truth ablaze 
It was then a distance between trees called 
In whispers of reunion 
And as his feet brushed a path behind 
He felt the cycle of time swinging with each step
And in the darkness lent of rocks he sat
There you will find him
There... you will find yourself
