STILL

Yesterday you were a child
Today I called you
The water of life
Dark as the pitch of night
An undulating void
Still

Unanswered

Riddle
Black as
The complete unknown
You spoke to me
of no return
and fear a choice
put aside
And I said
That is correct
There is no going back
Nor any need to
You have arrived
Dead Center
At the heart of the new dilemma
Beginning the birth
of unreconciliation
with the loss
of
innocence
