Sad song looms....
Gray consumes blue hues..........
Horizontally I lean into....
A burgeoning
Bellicose  wind .

Solo .........
I go.....my pace .....
Slowed ...
I grunt...lowering .....
Cumulus nimbus .......
Devours grey
Leaving blackness as it grows...

I can taste the ionization
Eyes squint   ....icy ...
I can't see...stinging......
Pelted .......  ..
By insecurity and loose debris.......
Bereft of dreams    ....
Suddenly faced with......
Being over half way "there"
Left without option .....
Turn back .......I die.......
I..............
Knowing ...........
To continue..............
Risking the same.....  
I know the way I came.....
I'm not going out that way......
So.........
I push
Expanding boundaries
On my epic campaign.....
I'm so low .......
Following instinct ......
Into the un known ....  
Only ......
I.......
dont know where I'm going .....
I guess I'll know when I get there.......
If I do .........
I'll let you know
...
If I don't
...
You won't.......
.....

Know........


No one really did ......

Know............
  

Me .....




Carry on...




Cause and effect
...super cells...
metaphors
consequences for ....
Existing in consequences
From the things I do.
Both with intent and
Unconsciously....


Sunny days never made great sailors

I ll make it through......
Each storm strengthen me....
Epitome of the fool.....
Leaving the shallow end ....
Following my heart into the gloaming. ...
I....... Can't
Swim......

Treading waters
Into
Slow   ..
A slow depression from deep within overtaking me.
Pushing down
Try........
It's too .......much.....
Such a seductive gloom
A lachrymose love
Always close to me....
Knows what haunts me

Ears crackle
Tortured quivering smile
Screaming silently
Wells fill blur my eyes
Asking no one yet everyone why


Diaphragm heaves
The blanket of doom


Lightning blooms strobe
Early nights sky........

Echoing visions
Diluted by time
Imbued to  a degree...
Solemnly I sojourn
Solo I half earned
This sinking  state of
Saturation
Drowning......
I learn to swim ......
As I rise to the surface ....
Tunnel vision sets in .....
And the question

Should I.......
