dreams push themselves to their feet their words, swimming, like depths of oceans expressions, mysteriously opening doors “Is this a manifestation of God?” I ponder? Who sent the assassin, with muffled curses? Moving to guard doorways I hear running foot steps coming closer closer closer still I smell stench of death... where is God? and the one face that remains, is stolen away feeling like an injustice nothing but black space in someone’s mind a picture of familiarity draws an invisible spot while…. (WAM) The runner knocks me over eyes wide with horror, I grobble thru blackness fingers wet with what I imagined to be red black liquid oozing from the body of pain’s eagerness holding a first class ticket... mine “I can’t go”, I kick and scream, “I’m not dressed for the occasion!” horror invades my libido, shouting spit in my face... “You desperate fool” ha ha ha ha ha’s trailing off in the distance... stumbling back... lost in a depth of dark hollows bracing for the explosion of diminishing I ride the wind backwards... falling falling falling inevitable prickly moments grab my being like frozen laughter in self delusion debating my small one percent of the world taking that one instant of stillness “Why can’t anyone hear me”??? I scream "Death is building colonies!" falling upon history of wars & any peace accomplished is this the final battle of my life? am I merely looking out through windows blackened with eons of dark space? nothingness? gasping for breath, the runner’s face twists desperately around through a haze of impatience I gasp and recognize him "OH GOD” I scream... feeling my spirit within begin to lift then leave.. disfigured & drawn, the face of the runner moves his eyebrows high into the width of his forehead as if to remind me my heart was in “His” hands… rummaging through the widescreen of my entire life “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I know I haven’t” and the words stopped, dripping slowly down my mouth freezing like concrete… “I’m gone”, I thought, “gone”, as blood gushes from my forehead feeling any light still left strangled by dark circles wrapped around murmurs of uncertainty… "is this the final battle?” “Is this death taking me home or that spot of human touch sliding down into some forgotten pit of betrayal?” suddenly in a lift of anger a last desperate attempt I can feel pain cut right through my soul faint memory risks one more sound of meaning and I hear echoes as if coming from another channel in time moving closer my ears strain...to hear... “What” I scream again and again... "I'm over here" frantically the voice entered like a plunge into the brain “know the truth!" "know the truth!" louder & louder it explained again & again it murmurs... “know the truth” It was all I had left, something that mattered something worth remembering responding to thought glistening amazement entered my wanna be life wishing for a cause insane & carefully lettered cause the voice now stronger then ever beating beating like a heart tha thump, tha thump I hear those words waving like the American flag in mid air gushing through like early spring flowers those 3 little words that sends human souls back to their home "I love you..." I’ll come back to you… Open your eyes oh please open your eyes and I did all that I had imagined disappeared… sucked out through a void like a giant thirsty straw in it’s place was a full moon of faith like a humming neon light striding haply across the sky proud loud and clear I knew the face of that runner it was my anima my spiritual male side of self talisman of suggestion lashing out daggers of fear but now night breeze on a cool evening changes life in an instant like pudding thick and delicious once again dreams push themselves to their feet their words swimming like depths of oceans expressions mysteriously opening doors “Is this a manifestation of God?” Sheesh I will no longer ponder nor will I ask again with such severe emotion (wink) |

LeeJ, This was masterful, picturesque and absolutely powerful. The fear, the confusion and the senses filled with nightmare and a vital awakening. I love your writes! TD |
