And
Further She Falls
The
sun pierces the last leaf on a neighboring tree,
Beams
of bronze and ruby dance on her withdrawn hand
As
a gentle wind whispers a progressive symphony.
To
rest, to dream – the world folds in on itself;
Darkness
surrenders to emerging fanciful colors,
A
kaleidoscope of images drawn from her bookshelf.
A
familiar detective greets an unfamiliar cliff;
A
rabbit’s hole, she spirals through space and time,
With
a machine to witness the scrawl of a hieroglyph.
Her
heart and mind soar, yet the darkness takes hold;
From
dream to scream – falling into deeper fathoms;
A
charred calendar of a past day about to unfold.
And
further she falls …
A
shrieking list raises the bar to a dizzy height,
A
fiery pair of eyes scorches through her paper heart
And
a cold skyscraper shadows over her limelight.
And
further she falls …
A
familiar face distorts into an unfamiliar emotion,
A
broken bottle drops into an abyss of neglect –
Her
mind racing out of control, but in slow-motion.
And
further she falls …
An
imagination explodes from a thought singularity,
A
mushroom of dread burns and crushes her chest –
But
Hope appears, a single figure to reverse her polarity.
Outside is a Savior,
Outside is a Savior!
From
screams to awaken – her world unfolds to a sunrise;
Seconds
feel like minutes, minutes turn into seconds,
As
the Morning Star wipes away her nightmarish cries.
A
gentle wind whispers a progressive symphony,
Beams
of gold and emerald dance on her outstretched hand
As
the sun pierces the first leaf on a neighboring tree.
And
further she falls,
Into the arms of her
Savior!~
