copper

 
finessing the eternal rift I sigh
all-encompassing passion besieges
with a coppery voice time speaks
everything slows for a moment and is quiet
the universe knows this being intimately

in the hour of the day he solemnly utters
so still the people of the world hush
then the knowing comes and it is as it should be

putting all in perspective
on the spectrum of truth--
how would you know this from that if not experienced first hand?

life is a metaphor for your future
you now know yourself better
pushed to extremes you have knowledge
in the dirt of understanding, you've grown wisdom
