Imminent Mortality –

“I want to tell you what it was really like to think death is imminent, but I can’t. It’s a taste in your mouth. And an emptiness.” – Aaron Huey

Sneaking thing this black specter, writhing in my brain,
Coloring my bright light with shades of never

Bringing the death of my flesh

In the missing of your gray eyes, pushing in my stomach,

grabbing solitary and smearing me with earnest

Bringing the death of my heart

Swirling decisions in red clouds, failing in my heart,

a tempting success erased in a hurried smudge

Bringing the death of my work
Jumping off castles of white cliffs,
flapping frantically in the forest of the unknown
Bringing the death of my belief

The Life Of A Wave – Earth, Air, Fire, Water interacting

“Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood. Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain.” – Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Coerced from my sleep

Way, way down deep

Titans of earthen pallor incessantly push another element

Barely appearing in my journey

I can’t be seen clearly

Wild winds whip and angrily push another element

Orange temper far below

Angry kicks not softening the blow

Molten flames melt resistance pushing on another element.

Tired of being treated so

I rise up and with thunderous roar

White water crashing the pushing epitaph of another element
