I stand staring

darkness stands not as the condition
stands just a question
do you see the light it shadows
can you stand not lost
but laugh out for the path mirrors
its dark now but for light to be
its hard now for smiles to see
lost is now not forever will be

I stand staring ordinary
as the other billion stares
i stand disappear as steps receed
but i stare not as the billion stares
i eye not who stands beside
but see the distance the light reads
the unaccesible to reach
the darkness inside i question
for the courage i seek to feel
i bruise to stare the billion
from where their sight conceals
