[bodytext] => Yesterday i stood at the edge of my world looking at the people scatter like marbles across an oil slick The earth crumbled at my feet and fell from my world to theirs Dirty water in my veins kept my eyes open Black smoke in my lungs kept my faith asleep And i stood on the edge Watched them scatter like marbles Hands digging in an empty pocket looking for wasted years Voices begin to reach from below They sounds familiar and there is no introduction The assumtion is that I recall them all I do not The cool sweet breeze carries the voices to my level They start at my feet and begin to travel up my body Sending a chill threw my whole being This is the first thing i have truly felt ever since I reached the peak of this mountain My isolation Still i do not recall I feel the voice turn into hands, cold hands they are on my shoulders Suddenly I feel much older The voice tells me to open my eyes and jump My faith had risen from sleep and is speaking to me Patience has run out and urgency rests on my shoulders ready to push me off this mountain top I have created in my head My eyes have been opened and now i fall quickly from the lonely mountain Back into the world With all the marbles scattering Dirty water runs from vein to tearducts Black smoke clears out of my lungs threw my screams I plummet from isolation to population Passing all those wasted years and manufactored tears And i am free and safe falling wrapped tight in my forgotten faith I now join the scatter I am a marble You are my mountain [comments] => 1 [counter] => 208 [topic] => 66 [informant] => Recovery_poet [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => drugabuse )
