Grand inheritance

Two windows, one beholder
In a solitary mansion

He shall inherit the earth
One window holds his gaze

Captivated but the other, forget it not. It reflects the world, colourless and desolate

He can't help it when he tries to look away
Yet every time he fails

Bite into the bittersweet forbidden fruits
And it spreads its roots within

But the answers never come
More questions rise in their absence
Invisible to all, solitary he shall remain

Feeling out of place, a beholder of  different scenes
There are no tears, when the rain is pouring outside

A sense of self is all he needs
To understand, that the worlds he sees are shards of a shattered globe
