I Sat Down At The Table Poem by Cathryn Adeli

I sat down at the table
With my demons and the gods
The pieces moved and i was able
To win with just my nods.
As my pile grew and grew
The stakes grew higer too
So i gambled with my life and love
Now i ask the moon above
Did i win at all or did I lose?
My silent voice replied
You need no excuse.
All the prophets have been crucified.
There is no surrender, no gain
No end to joy, no end to pain
All will be as it will seem
If you'll awake within your dream.
