The Sigh

The sigh
The weight of the world
Is hurled on shoulders
So steep
It slides right off 
Crashing down
Down 
Down
Up on the rooftops
The chimney sweeps
Hard at work
The ash is falling
Like burnt snow
In the land of time
Illusions are not darkness
But darkness is
The illusion
Overshadowing 
So much
That it is often forgotten
That light is needed 
For shadows
To even exits
Darkness is not alone
It holds up a fancy
Charade of self
All alone
As though nothingness exists
Nothing cannot exist
Because even the mention 
Of nothing
Is only is relation to something
Time
Time 
Time
Turning back
Moving forward 
In the Stillness
For some reason
The illusions are sometime
In focus
More than the truth
More that what is actually
Set before us. 
The sigh
Is present
Is it relief?
Tall trees
Have known bended knees
Have known and weathered 
Many storms
Tall trees
Have heard all the words
Caught all the whispers
And attended 
To many
The care
The sigh
Is in the wind
In the Spirit
Welcome
And look up
Not down
