Searching

…Slipping out of the light
Spilling into darkness…
Everything has its price.
….along the path
take a look back…
dreams lay scattered
darkness edging in
we must find where to begin again
[searching for the softest of light]
where you down on your knees
blowing through dreams
spun…. then undone
did we fail to see the sun…
when it was shining in our face…
was darkness holding it hostage…
…staggering under true cost….
have I become lost…
choosing a path
slinking along quietly,
a slowed cautious foot
eyes picking out movements
