Awaken

By thespin

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I lie down in sorrow. The fires consume me. Burning. Scorching. Engulfing me. Covering me. Tiny insects reaching towards the sky. Aglow. They fall were they will. Carried by the winds of indecision. Carried by the great I. The pit is black. Hollow. Empty. Damp. Sounds echo forth from sealed lips. Speak. Speak. Feel. Feel. Love. Love. Looks towards the rock. The rock from which you were hewed. A light shines from beyond. Glimmering in the vastness. AWAKE! Written October 22nd, 2001 © on Oct 22 2001 01:30 AM PST   0 • 10
