The Man Eating Tree - Code Of Surrender

Accusations. And shame
Of the kind you would deny
If it did not shine like a light
Obeying no switch or hour
Of each corroded day
Passing
Like shadows over heart

Inside the moment
But outside the code
Of this motionless dawn
Ground to a halt
But breathing
Relief of surrender
To a great white Abyss
Surrendered.

Salvation from secrets
Of the kind you would deny
If they did not weigh
Like the cross created
As a burden to carry
Through Each corroded day
Passing
Like shadows over heart.
