The pendulum swings

Into the sunshine
Rainbows of innocence
Sunbeams of trust
The soft gentle breezes of naivety

 

The pendulum swings

 

Into the darkness
Shadows of guilt
Thunder of despair
The raging winds of broken innocence

 

The pendulum swings

 

Slower,
            And slower,
                               A n d    s l o w e r ...

 

It doesn’t reach the sunshine

                                               It doesn’t reach the darkness

 

 

And so it stops                        somewhere in between
Is this where we must live?
Between the sunshine and the darkness?
Or is this death?
Time standing still
Unmoving?

I push .. and the pendulum swings.
