After Years

once i have established a solid faith but now i stand faint hearted blown by the wind a statue picking dust in the open that would shine glitter with just a swish of your hands this multi-faceted world leaving me floating, sinking, fainting, laughing, weeping, crying, like in the middle of the sea all the metaphors that you could seek of a troubled life swirling in your mind in the water calm facade stormy swishy mass, crushing tsunami the gods, the devils that trail my mental world a sea of anguish, loss seeking a truth a needle in the ocean they call the almighty inspired by: After Years Today, from a distance, I saw you walking away, and without a sound the glittering face of a glacier slid into the sea. An ancient oak fell in the Cumberlands, holding only a handful of leaves, and an old woman scattering corn to her chickens looked up for an instant. At the other side of the galaxy, a star thirty-five times the size of our own sun exploded and vanished, leaving a small green spot on the astronomer's retina as he stood on the great open dome of my heart with no one to tell.
