Ancient doors creak and groan scraping back the dust of ages gone A formidable sight... like standing guardians since time immortal Slinking in past swirling fog I pause to calm my fear adding strength to resolve when suddenly... a deafening voice ERUPTS with EXACTING FASTIDIOUS truths Solid ground shatters beneath me... I hover helplessly Below me... a noxious boiling maelstrom The voice of truth EXPLODES from above ECHOing my 'Every Sin' the resounding shock-waves drive me down Legs lifted high to avoid the searing pain then a tangle of blistered hands reach out and drag me within the churning inferno Blinding spin and unbearable suction envelope Scream fades to gurgle Unconsciousness welcome though never met The searing pain still rising yet Each fibre ripped apart to molecular particle Riding the vortex of purification Separating sins from soul Finally Cast out and caught yet again by the uterine web with the voice of truth still taunting ... " BETTER LUCK THIS TIME " |

Hah! What a trip you took the reader (moi) on. Still, with all the pain endured, you were deposited back on solid ground with a clean soul(heart)(mind) to try to do it all again with those ominous words . . . BETTER LUCK THIS TIME ringing on your ears. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Lucky for us we don't remember the pain of rebirth or childbirth, otherwise there would be no takers... Love your perspective here, great write! ~L |
