When I stepped from the depths of the waters
i looked and beheld
a loud voice
saying
come and see
oops i accidently plaguerizing the book of revelation, but the words are so
timeless
ageless
resounding
forever
So I take a step into the night
And my soul soaks the breeze
A lonliness that is almost welcome
Like a familiar friend
Comforts me,
Momentarily I blink
My eyes heavy
For another’s lack of sleep
What is rendered
Is diabolically retrieved
As my hands float at my side,
And I laugh,
After 30 seconds of purposeful pressure
They rise
Another ruined moment
Brings more promise of reprieve
Oh god, the neighbor says
It’s a conspiracy, meanwhile she plots in secrecy
I pray simplicity
Wakefulness
Freedom
From a toxic culture
And it’s disease
And I looked and beheld
Signs and wonders
Modern marvels
And artistry that fetched my minds own creativity
And stretched,
It
To
The
Limits
Capacity
Endurance
Perplexity
Hope driven lusts
And panic given
Pressures recedes
Time comes now,
For peace
For safety
For freedom
Fried chicken and some wholehearted
Dancing
Away from oblivion
And it’s nihilists
And boars
So, I was flooded
Drowned
And floundering
My mind bordering
On surviving the days
Behind
Stood
Weeks,months, years
Aloof from me
My own
I had fallen overboard
And landed in a train
Intent on derailing
Kinda like the Pelham 123
So I held on
Costs
Dearly
On and on
Until
The crash 💥
The evacuation,
And the retrieve.
