During Storms Winding Down |

Almost a temper raised fight with dreams in toss it seems as if I couldn't be any more inclined to tremble as I am at this moment. So just ramble with me slow down, thought leave me to the dispair I feel settling over me like a cold morning on sleepy skin. This time I know not why slumber takes me in except to hold me cradle me and hide me away for the next meeting in the stars of winter skies. Just when I had been enjoying the season I was hit and I stumbled but I got back up dusted the hoplessness and doubt from the strong back I have been cursed with and I stopped falling once more just floating now to let the days have me. But NO! I don't want to drift for there are shores of nightmares I have been all to familiar with while sifting through clouds with the wind in my face. I forgave the slap of wind I was blinded by only to know that there was another kind of pain just waiting up ahead. and I now, sit here wondering how right it is to feel so down and do not care no I do not care and yet I do and yet I DO NOT WANT TO DRIFT and I do not want to doubt, but how could I not doubt when there is so much hope for enemies? Oh Please I don't want to drift to be drained of all my light to dwell where shadows drink every night unwittingly being their intoxication of choice. I want a light please just me huddling here and hiding and I want a light the one I dropped the one that I lost when my kindess stopped. I want a light but I don't want yours! Weak batteries have been my dispair and I do not need another week battery cluttering up my soul. and I DON'T WANT BATTERIES ANYWAY! I want a natural powered beam where the sunshine infuses itself and bleeds out through my smile. But for now I'm giving up again and maybe tomorrow I'll forgive myself for loving and living too much and maybe the next day forgive you and the next forgive them. but for now I'm giving up and do you really want to follow me down .....here..... ????????????? I am many. |
