Beyond the Shadows

some men are born into this world out of step
preordained to sit on the draping fringe
they glide along the circumference,
the circle of breath
peering in with calloused orbs
they see it all....too painfully
womb to tomb, they echo
perennial voices, melted elders
they stand on the very tops of the clouds
shoulder to shoulder
chronological order
chorus whisperers carrying the tune of a critical song
placed here on earth with an unsolicited onus
inside their heads.....
neon acid streams through their veins,
their blood glows embers of truth
far too hot for a hearth of mere brick,
they do their very best to blend in
not from any weakness or fear
but from their profound love of humanity
yes because above all, they are great lovers
and if one is astute enough
to pierce their cloak of humility
they will happily leave the shadows
join you for cosmic communion
no I'm talkin' about swallowing
some kind of blood stained eucharist,
I'm talking about empathy
