Parry

 

I stood in the dark

Unraveling my confusion

Looking for an answer

For all the questions asked.

I stood in the dawn

Grasping threads of illusion

Asking all the questions

That I did not want answered.

I stood in the light

Dispelling all the rumors

Getting all the answers

To questions I hadn’t asked.

I stood in the dusk

Ignoring all the murmurs

Fending off wrong answers

And hoping I wasn’t asked.

I stand again in dark

Masking my confusion

Wading through the answers

No longer afraid to ask.

I am waiting for the daylight

No nearer to conclusions

Waiting to make answer

To all that I’ve been asked.
