Truth lies in the clock
As all time seems to stop.
Frozen by lack of knowing,
Provoked by true ties showing.
Seconds descend the broken stair
Aloft by strangers who seem not to care.
Life hangs in limbo for time being;
Illuminates a truth well worth seeing.
Severed family ties are born anew.
A realization that was long overdue
Is born from the need of each other
Bonding together to support another.
When death looms directly overhead
We bond together so doom isn't fed.
A battle fought against fates tides
Where morale is constantly shifting sides.
One minutes with us, the next it's gone.
Ongoing struggle from dusk to dawn.
Fate's hand is rarely pushed away.
It's effects, I know, are here to stay.
Unfair advantages death does hold.
It's bony grasp so gravely cold
Laid down in most unforeseen times,
Postponing judgment of reputable crimes
In order to pluck a truer life
Away to cause much greater strife.
Deaths hand need pick more suitable fodder
Instead of gripping at a much-cherished father.
The wheels of time now cease to turn
And of true hurt we all now learn.
'Till the wheels begin to turn once more
We'll forge onward in this uphill war.

- Title: Truth Notwithstanding
- Artist: Niente Neiuun
- Description: Another poem I wrote while my grandfather was on his death bed. It talks about about renewed family ties... It's referring to the fact that not a lot of my family ever really talked until the accident happened.
