There was a moment
I stood transfixed
trying to assimilate
what I had heard
Could I process this
revelation?
Moreover
could I believe?
The balance,
so complex and deceiving
Would I even know,
be able to see?
Something
so quiet and stealthy
which I desperately don’t
want to believe
Give me blindness
from reality
If only for a moment,
let me breathe
Stunned so deep now
I’m lost in free fall
but with nothing
on my face betrayed
I’ll play my cards
even closer to my chest now
and I’ll wait
for further word
If the circumstance
requires this of me
even I
will fall on my sword
Just give me a moment
of sweet disbelief
A pre-emptive surrender
before the fall.
