Where darkness ripples

The darkness ripples through buried memories
That float to the surface on a conscious tide
Meandering into streams of guilt laden woe
Burning brains, submerged in acidic lakes of poison

Those shadows in the darkness cast their shapes
Clawing at bleeding wounds that refuse to heal
Drowning their victims in a cacophony of silent screams
Embracing and clinging with discomfort, in immortal decay

Abandoned are those, with indifference for forgiveness
It sinks them far below their deepest depths of despondency
All hope fades therein, dwindling beneath those murky depths
Where pitch black waves of sticky, resinous tar, are as webs to passing flies

To seek no quarter from regret, whilst breathing their last breaths
For time suffers not the tardy, as redemption crumbles to dust before them
To be scattered by the winds of rue, then carried to sorrowful shores
There to lay as grains of sand, on a beach of shameful penitence

Be it the warm kiss of a Summer sun, or the cold sting of a Winter's morn
Bathing in the light and shade that permeate each passing moment
Choosing where to bask and linger, be it selfishness or compassion
Let fate determine, whose scales be weighted down by hedonism

They should take not for granted, that which is most precious
The myriad of scattered, irreplaceable treasures, that glint unseen
Awaiting the yawn of acceptance, as each new day awakens
Dwelling where peace ignores conflict, in houses built of contentment

To feel at one, completely belonging, walking not running
Behind the past recedes, ahead the future beckons  
Breathing in each new challenge, expelling all doubts and fears
So the light can shine brightly, to evaporate tears of remorse

That which can not be altered, pools where sheltered by darkness
Merging into streams, that ripple through a consciousness
Patiently flooding a mind, thus tainting it from clarity
Mindfulness is the dam, that subdues the tidal surge
 
Time waits for none, though some may wait for time
To cast its healing spell, before striving onward 
Time is as the tide, an unstoppable force that comes and goes
As such, it is and will always be, like thoughts dripping through a mind

Do they think, or do they think that they think
As merest trickles of some collective conscience
That sways to and fro, in battles for dominion
When shielded from light, where darkness ripples

Time waits for none, though time may wait for time. 

Time is unforgiving in its own time.

We think our time upon this land
Slowly trickles like hourglass sand
Each passing day forever lost
Melted away like morning frost :)
