Survival
Lust
Hatred
And love
An endless void through which we all try to live.
There is no peace
No feelings of fulfillment or completeness.
Only the confusion & frustration that lasts an eternity.
Living in a strange world, an eternal darkness
Never knowing how nor why we continue to struggle & move on.
In the end, there is no wait
There is no light of clarity & understanding
Just a numb emptiness…
The rain keeps falling
But none of it reaches your eye
It keeps passing you by.
Thunder racing in the skies
Lightning reflects itself in your eyes
Surfing through time
Scattered in space
Laughing
Crying
Spitting upon my own image
The ripples are small, yet forceful & strong
Moving fast against the current.
Laughter fades
Memories drift
But looking in the farthest corner of any room,
Whether it be a spark of light
Or a bit of shadow,
Hope, faith & love still reign!
