Practising still life
29 August 2015

Walking on eggshells
Toiling through the days planted
A slippery path
A parade for none
Balance maintained by sheer will
For pain to withstand
Life is always such
That calm relays agony
Rainbow to be felt
Kick off calm and dance
Raging with the elements
That battle within

Spending you in throes
Fight and you are overcome
You fight only you
Blinded spectacle
Lending itself to ashes
The blind will behold
Practising still life
A lifetime to reach the point
Of abandonment
Look into my eyes
I will raise you now my peace
For shelter you bring
