Turning Away - Dec. 27, 2010

Turning Away

While all my secrets lie motionless, I listen to their dreams

Drifting like broken shadows to my end of days

Rolling on into nothingness, where forever seems

To exist in realms that will not pass away

Are not the years long enough, to wake them from their sleep

So I may know the truth my conscience holds inside

Or will my secrets never honor me with all I hope they keep

Until their dreams I no longer listen to or confide

I heard the humming of a spinning wheel, perhaps my own

But the hand that turned the wheel was not mine

I wondered if the dreams of my secrets had all rolled on

To exist in realms my conscience could not find

While all my secrets were motionless, I listened to their dreams

Finding they held all the sorrows I could not see

As I had rolled them into nothingness, where forever seemed

To exist in realms where I did not wish to be
