Tunnel Vision

We are ever dying to one world and being born into another. - Thoreau

brighter than bright

darker than night

out of sight

more wrong than right

slower than slow

lower than low

faster than fast

higher than high

reasons stack to the sky

truth scratches its head and asks why

why did summer lie

why did winter cry

when and how did life go awry

visions tunneling in my eye

digging ever deeper

why do i not hide and spy

these clues of

what happens when i die

Author's Note

"When it's time to die, let us not discover that we have never lived." - Thoreau
