A Stand Still. a small dose of disdain, a coarse emotion without emotion. discarded memories lasting without want nut in need. righteous intention burning bright beside all natural light, good for nothing where nothing is certain. restless eyes meet no warm welcome, a steady collapse of all light. still music goes on and on, and drags behind it’s merry song. once laughter, an easy substitute, now the joke is turning into you. it preys on gentle hands to wear raw. it prays gently for everyone’s place at the table. you really make no difference. it’s now time to set the table. a strange sound corrupts a playful passing. words will change nothing but the will to forget the past and remember it’s frailty. i was left standing without a place to go back or ever forward to. what a worthless dream, showing no action just in love with justice for none. still a proof of life, a life pushed to one side without the other. i stand corrected and challenged then collected. it’s been too hard to forget what cannot forgive. a loss too much in love. on and on, spend and spent all in the same breath, an equal cost for all left to bear. what fools are they that come with hands open and mouths shut. -Robert Levon Been
