Day to NightA Poem by Atton BrownDay hides what night reveals. My retrun after a LONG ....well recovery Please tell me what you thinkDay turns to night and I can feel your spirit It’s when the sun is farthest, that the truth is nearest The silhouette of a broken man Encompasses the broken land Waterfall eyes and sorrowful moans Painted on smiles make for painful groans Artificial emotion is all that shows Cuz if the real breaks through it’ll cut like bows Bows and arrows, Robin Hood A shroud of shadows hides all that’s good But good and evil, right and wrong Are different tunes to the same song A melodic, chaste, and grinning chorus Retched by something so abhorrent That the fragile lines are blurred And the brittletruth is slurred Day and night become the same word Night turns to day and I can feel you no more All the true emotion washes up on the shore Pushed and pulled; destroyed by the tide It merely disguises what you hide Every petty lie, each piece to your puzzle All the secrets you keep nestled behind a muzzle Stay and remain The light hides the truth but reveals the pain Erases your name But enunciates your shame In your heart, or your twisted version Your know your faults, your own perversions So why does truth not guide your motions? Why do you submit to these emotions? Why do you accept the hand you’re dealt? Take the cards and flip them, but expect no help Don’t follow a trial Or stay weak and frail Blaze a path, lead even when u fail Try again, once, twice, thrice But to be honest, I think it’s time I took my own advice… © 2011 Atton BrownAuthor's Note
