the gleam of your satisfaction
masked by a smile too easy,
thinking the silence of your conscience
was a fortress built to last.
you reveled in the illusion
that time could be an accomplice,
that the scales of justice
hung on the wall of eternity.
you moved through your days
but I am the pulse beneath the silence,
the quiet force that shifts the sands,
an unseen current that never forgets.
I am the echo of every action,
reverberating through the walls
you thought could contain it.
you cannot erase the echoes
of your actions with indifference.
I am the stillness that waits
in the spaces where you thought
in the depths of your conscience,
that nothing is truly forgotten.
nurturing the seeds you scattered,
tending to the roots that twist
and coil in the soil of your actions.
that curls around corners,
that guides you back to what you’ve sown.
the darkness you once hid in
you thought you’d buried.
I am the long sigh of time,
the steady hand that will reach out,
with a precision you cannot outrun.
the weight of your choices
woven into the very fabric
not with the ease of evasion,
of a truth that cannot be outrun.
when your reflection and reality
that nothing truly goes unaccounted for.
you will find no sanctuary
is a mark etched in time,
that will trace it back to you.
you will not escape the weight
the shadows you danced in
waiting to reclaim what was always
the truth, unyielding and steady,
will find its way to the surface,
but as the inevitable outcome
