Ensconce

What about the changes in a person
Where does the absurdity fall
Where does the truth lie

Nonsense has been written
On the tombs of those before
A distant word for those who rest

The thought of society
Need not mention upon their graves
Only a welcome of peace

The fountain of youth waits
On grass tips of stone
Buried only for those who believe.

What will I leave here for you
A tombstone
Or will I dwell in the shadows of light

Will you see me
On cold evenings on empty streets
Of sidewalks cratered holes

I think of you and what I will mean to you
How you will come to know me
In troubled waters will my echo ring

I am overly cautious of my own mortality
If only you could escape knowing unknown like I did
Holding on until we can both follow the sunrise

Until we both know the moment of existentialism
Until we know the moment of fate
Until we realize we are always bound

In living and in death and in spirit
—my son.
