To Whom Do I Owe? Poem by April DOWN

To Whom Do I Owe?

Rating: 4.8


To plan is such a rough guideline
Time and possibility will batter the flow
I betroth to the uncertain signs
That will steer me onto the crow

To whom do I owe my path
A universal exchange, A God or to the many?
For when Ignored I feel its wrath
The bitter then befalls me so timely, its uncanny

The gifts of obeyance so alluring
Yet inside the grit sticks to my teeth
But still I follow, sunken to the great burdening
No matter how life may be brief

Inquisitively and naively, I stare
Into the abyssal deepness of space
The flickers calling under my skin so rare
To return I know I will lose this face

A colourless spectrum
But entering the fullness of energy
Splitting and to re-emerge somehow
Into a particle seated in another's soul
