EVERYDAY WE RISE

 Everyday we rise

We step on our graves spread

Away beneath our feet

The sun grows

Our shadows grow with it

The sun sets

Our shadows set with it 

Until consumed by the twilight

And the shroud of dead pan dark

Of the night covers us

Till the second day

When we, may rise

            Oblivious of our graves spread away

            Beneath our feet

            Oblivious of God behind the dome

            Over our heads

            Oblivious of our shadows

            Mimicking our every act

            Oblivious of our days

            Like carrots in the mouth of time

            Oblivious of everything

            Except the vanity of our hearts
