Shadows Cast Across Canyons
Written by: Dave DeRose
I always thought I was special.
That I had something more.
I’d save the world like Captain America!
Throwing the football across the street; I was John Elway.
Putting the perfect spiral on the Super Bowl winning touchdown.
Never a thought of mediocrity…
Now 28, I feel nothing but mediocre.
I'm not sure if you'll know my meaning
Nor do I think these words are new.
Feeling like a pebble on a beach.
Falling into an existential abyss.
So I escaped.
Far, to a desert land.
Found a canyon.
Climbed to the highest point.
Looked across the canyon to see my silhouette excitedly waving its arms above its head…
I cast a shadow across this great canyon.
Here I found peace.
Realizing that’s what our lives are.
Shadows cast across canyons.
