begs me bleed
turns my tongue to red
because a facet
knows blue-green
cuts thin
across the night
that life has formed
by word, by song restrains
this earthly sight
and all that i once have known
is but gone - leaves
me to bathe
in
endless white
i should love
or choose to not, or choose
stand like
fallen grace - with steps
that i have walked
upon
time so unforeseen
erased
and all that I
once have known
is but gone (to night) leaves
me to -
so bound
bathed
in endless - white

For me, it is a good thing that "all what I knew is now gone..as in, "God, You take care of it now, tell me what to do. YOU are my new employer!"
Ditto Steve. ... We are just clay. Let us enjoy the ride. Take care...bkm

DeleteWhite...symbolic of so many things--but here I get the feeling it's a negation of everything.
ReplyDeleteSharp and cutting, blinding and yet hurt-- nice piece. ~peace, Jason
ReplyDeleteBathing in endless white is a haunting refrain in this invitation to bleed a little.
