Obscure

Life exists
beyond black and white
it exists in shades of grey
yet at times we're fatalistic

how
one might ask
yes and no
perhaps

banish that thought
no man is an island
unto himself
so they say

it is possible
to build walls
none can penetrate
unless you open the gate

yet there is
a distinct choice
to soar like an eagle
beyond the walls

this prison of choice
which encloses thyself
do you have the key
or is it lost in the past

do you stroll
the sandy beach
and watch time
slip between your toes

or do you have the courage
to open the gates
tear down the wall
be mesmerized

by the beauty
that exists
beyond your shores
or will the waves

of reality
hammer your walls
will you regard them as tides
or will you

dive into
the ocean of existence
are you
willing to risk

a peaceful
oblivious existence
for death
beneath the tides

that last gasp
eternity
exists in the moment
the question is

will you blink
or will you accept
reality
the final frontier


darkness
light
the horizon
or a starry night

and be at peace..
