The Madcap

Unsure and Unready

I never know for certain,
The days of ruin or reward,
Whether time is up or onward
When forever will make its call
And all I see is mirrors
Reflecting days gone by
With passions faded, goals long gone
Beneath a pitch-black sky

Unsure and unready
Nothing holding steady
Page’s corner folded
So I can remember
Duty gone, no more pretending
While none in life are winning
All fade to dust a few memories
Of legends never real

Help me with my stagger
As I shake with every step
Lift my veil of darkness
So I can see the light
Every moment counting
The seconds long forgetting
The voices long silenced
By time and discontent.
