Overflows

Haunted echoes.

By Novel AllenPublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

Earth drinks our sorrow

Cries tears. Mourns humanity's

Descent into dust

*

We build walls of stone,

worn souls weeping...overwhelmed

Like taut springs. Uncaged...

*

Cracked stone cannot hold

the flood of what is to come -

guilt bleeds into sand.

*

The well remembers

every echo, every fall -

we drink what we sow.

*

No warning , Like death,

waters gush forth, spewing life

We become undone.
