The Storm

You kneel, shivering,

Overlooking your world.

With the knowledge in your mind

That here is the core,

Here is most true.

 

The eyeless storm,

with cold grey lightning,

and crushing thunder,

lording over a world

of ash and dead trees.

 

Like a draught

From the mouth of a demon,

the screaming wind

savages your form,

snatches at you heartlessly.

 

The gale is the only sound,

To permeate this plain,

And it steals your joy,

And batters you onto your knees.

Trying to render useless your escape.

 

You want to run

To hide away in pain,

But there is only here now.

This dreamscape you created

Within you.
