Let me abide in the shadows for a bit longer   
Amidst the chaos to ponder   
I see the real faces in the sunshine
Burn away what's mesmerizes
The traces of guile unmask the true countenance   
I allow myself emotions of uncertainty 
Confusion, helplessness and integrity.   

Own what is within 
Staring at the darkness unblink 
Trusting the journey therein 
Amidst the grumbles, stumbles and winning.  

Fathom the unfathomable aura 
As it bestows me with surrender plethora 
Guiding through the rough terrain 
All arrogance is in vain 
Calm in the face of nothing
Kind with everything.
