Listened Low

Too early to go forward 
Too late to turn back
There's a temple in your forehead
Where the people come to dance
Holding themselves in a trance
A little off the beaten track
The horizon opens slowly forget to breathe
Somewhere suspense accounts about to be closed
A smoky cough where clouds part to reveal
What you knew you don't know not a great deal 
Is left to be said although not as supposed
Where the world squeaks out of turn aside from here
And if you speak with words that listen low 
Silent moments come to pass the time of day
Light draws objects until taking them away
Knew once you said to me, "you never know"
As I spoke with words you listened low .

Loved this, complex and full of excellent phrases, my favourite has to be, "somewhere suspense accounts about to be closed."

It seems like such a sad and cryptic message from the beginning. :"Too early to go forward
Too late to turn back ..." sounds like a message without hope and full of much sadness. Beautiful words put together very well.
