Running.

It is dark.

Pitch black with hope for light ahead.

Panting like my lungs are closing in. 

Screaming for air like I need light. 

In the distance I can see it. 

I can feel the heat. 

Color appears in shades of orange, red and yellow. 

I made it; my eyes see beauty. 

My breath begins to slow so I can breathe again.

Castle
11/30/2022

Standing tall and proud in the distance. 

I see silence and stillness in the reflection.

Thinking thoughts but nothing to say

In the castle they will stay

Until a storm comes and erupts

The earth won't be able to shake when it quakes.

​

Explanation: My brain is like a castle. It has so much knowledge and thoughts trapped inside of it. It is so far out of reach for some to understand. I want to reach others with my knowledge through typing.  Am I the storm needed to change others?
