Walk, Evermore and Always

People are walking,
Flitting around like jerky puppets on ruined strings,
Never taking their eyes from their foggy destinations
Running through swirling masses of lies and deception

Until a brilliant sadness cuts swaths of fog away,
Outlining the dreaded chosen in sharp relief
Lifting up and dragging down
Showing truth and ripping us apart all the same

Air cannot blow away these wretched things,
Fire could never destroy
Water cannot drown these sorrows of ours,
The Earth no one could employ.

Time may never heal our wounds, for we are all divided,
No matter how little the space, we are never fully united.
Love can only save so many, While more are lost as days pass
We are crushed by the weight of our poisonous fears.

The fog doesn't ever lift, bearing down like a ravenous beast,
Feeding from the pain we unconsciously share.
There is no permanent escape, we come back eventually,
Come back starry-eyed and hopeful before the fog presses in once again.

And yet we still walk, force a smile and trudge through dark days.
We will survive, as we always have, and continue to live.
Just as we have always done, and as we always will,
Make the world better for souls that wander even after we are gone.
