My head is bowed
Pelted by pellets of invisible rain
That burn life sparks from a smelter
The heat of the sun, quickly vanishing
Realization stabs deep, lightning sharp
Bright, brilliant for only a second
Then gone, gone, gone from it's target
Chosen for it's revelation
I feel the thunder shake my guts
No longer in the distance
The hammer strikes hard
And the flash of metal on steel
Spits electricity, aimed with precision
So I cover my head with my hands
My instinct is to hit the ground
Assume the position
Hide in a cellar womb, conceived in my mind
For just this purpose
I should not have made the promise
Not to venture too far
From fetal security
It's much better in this gelatinous cellar tomb
White washed as it is by all Your lies

Can you feel the wind blowing?
Howling and whining, whistling a dreadful tune
Giving voice to ghosts and spirits, angry at me
Threatening to knock me down, back to the ground
******* down and stone me
With lethal hailstones as the apostle stands back to watch
Threaten to whip me up and whirl me around
Just so much debris caught in the jaws of a hungry tornado
It threatens to toss me off, useless detritus
Into ever growing puddles
But I am a heavy feather
A wet leaf, mired in fresh mud
So I ain't goin' nowhere

If I had the nerve
I would lift up my head from useless prayers
Take a quick look and hope to see
Where it's all coming from
Grey clouds drifting too quickly
Ugly colors on infinite canvas
Confusing melodies drawn upon staves of silence
Sick, *****, murky ether
That delivers nothing but bad tidings
I only want to **** the messenger
The artist, the composer
I know exactly where to find Him
He's in the womb
He's in the tomb
And he's mean to ***** me out of his silent mouth
And he's heartless to leave me alone for these years he's given me
And he's cruel to teach me of the Grand Obsession
That will take me back to Him

I will stop up my ears aganst the raging tempest
Because I do not want to hear
So sure that my denial
Rooted, as it is, in ignorance
Will perform alchemy
If only in the playground of my mind
A minor tweak in the illusion
But I have not the nerve
Nor have I the skills
My magic is too fragile
So my back remains hunched
Eyes still closed
Head in hands, bobbing back and forth
To the beat
Of some heavy rock music I've chosen
To drown out the sound
Of the Hurricane

What is this feeling that is terrorising my entire being?. l try to escape to the safe haven of sleep, yet he too cannot offer me refuge. L long for silence and peace of mind, they too have become strangers to me. Flood gates open, and like a tsunami the worst of my fears flood what was once my safe space, dangerously colliding aganst my pillars of sanity.

L feel severed from everything, the more l try to connect, the further l drift into this vast empty space. L float aimlessly, a part of me wants to fight but the other part of me is near breaking point.

The stench of fear makes me want to *****, l can feel the hollowness in my  stomach, almost like am drained to the last drop of energy.

L am consumed by the search for answers, yet they remain agonizingly hidden from me. Desparately l search for signs from the universe to help solve my dilema, do l give up or shall l fight till my last breath. Loud voices torment my soul, fate's darkness is closing in on me.
