april 15, 2019 poem

Living life so gallantly
Soaring, loving, loved
Bright - no end in sight -
Naivety, blind to the light

Uncertainty creeping in
Clinging, grasping, loss
Eyes - painfully enlightening
Can't be stopped

Fear, emanating -
Rapid, violent, wild
Like a surging demonic fire
Overwhelming
Naivety piercing sharply **

Sorrow filling, hope lost -
Worlds come crashing down
The end blaringly in sight
For late at night one's life slowly fades

In a daze, time's stopped
A soulless body aimlessly walking,
Longing to reunite, **
Spiritually - one with the universe **

Stopped, a hero emerges
Overwhelming presence,
Blessed beyond the stars
Life seeping in slowly

Alas, reuniting
Yet to be complete
The one blessed by the gods
Falls down to Earth

Shattered -
Overwhelming guilt; emerging
Nothing to stop it
Demonic fire blazing

No past,
No future,
No life,
Shocked out of existence

Time gone -
Where?
Stretching on forever,
Nothing in sight
