The Canyon

The canyon’s deep, bottom black, an abyss 

Miles away, a great meadow, views of the mountains, flowers, sunshine bliss

And life is this

Walking, along the canyon, in the meadow or in the sage land in between 

And it’s no one’s fault if they are staring down into the void or if their vision is filled with the meadow green

It is not ourselves or even circumstance, but the roll of dice by life that decides our scene

 

They who walk along the rim may turn, stand on the edge and gaze down with hope to end the pain

There are those who, no matter what they do, have no hope to escape the rain

And the meadow belongs to the sane

A single shove is all it would take for the trekkers along the hole

For those in the rain, life would have to propel them along a miserable walk with a high toll

People in the meadow would need one of the mountains to erupt with such force to destroy their world in its whole

 

Where anyone’s at doesn’t make them weak or strong

Hoping to end the misery, not being in pain, neither’s right or wrong

It’s all a matter of how life leads us along

Regardless of how big or small, there cannot be judgement over what it took for someone to be destroyed

Some strikes, no one can avoid

Everyone’s constantly pushed, some are just closer to the void
