Mercy Comes With the Morning
And to think
That after all this time
It would be you to fall into the light
While I slip unknowingly into the darkness
It would be your soul,
One the glides upon the precipices of life
In other dimensions not a part of reality,
That would step backward and find the road into the sun
That after all this time
It would be me to fall into the darkness
That my soul would hurl itself
Throwing myself off the edge into the unknown
Falling endlessly with no ground in sight.
That I would ever step outside the careful fences
Constructed by myself for my safety
That my soul,
Confined by protection and
Standing outside any realm of existence,
Would take the chance to jump
That after all this time
You would look back at the light,
The light that I craved for,
And would regret ever finding it;
Would regret ever following it
While I,
With the wind in my face and the darkness all around
Would take the time to light a candle
So that my falling would become flying
And, heart pounding,
I would finally see
