Here in the Shadows
Here in the shadow of Adam I dwell,
With other denizens banished to hell,
Sunken in concrete as cold as the grave,
Covered in time’s lapping wave.
Here are the shoes that I tried hard to fill,
Adam immortal and blessed with free will,
Only of value if dwelling in Christ,
Knowing what He sacrificed.
Here is the puddle in which I dissolved,
Mired in karma that can’t be resolved,
Bathing in moonshine to purge the deep pain,
Destitute, going insane.
Here are the hands that have written all time,
Fashioned by God, blessed by angels sublime,
Pirouette tumbles in absolute black,
No, there is no going back.
