unsettled

to sit and watch from afar
they creep without sound
they arise from no where
and demand all attention

even with a balance
joyful banter in between
they take what's important
and offer nothing in return

descending, i sometimes see them
rob us of the light
wait or excuse them
they offer no recompense

sorry that follows
seem to fall short
the explanation not enough
while the giant swing waits

patience and understanding
nod it off as time
learn to love the moments
that exist above the falls

unsure of their invitation
they overtake the scene
leave me wondering how they came
and moved so beyond
