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?
