Member-only story
To escape into the void
Approach with an open mind and heart
Yet the arrow penetrates the skin and comes out the skeleton
Mind keeps rattling off numbers and predictions
Heart aches for a storm to pass
No pass is ever enough
Grasping at the rock for balance
Keen on standing tall
For all
To witness
Knowing the monkey crashing cymbals inside is just waiting
For you to return
In the quiet room, alone
You’ve escaped
To bloom in doom
Knowing that to ascend
You will need to unravel
And leave knowledge
Behind
Like the hotel key card
In a drop box
Amongst all the others
Footsteps on the stairwell
Maybe it’s the choice that is without a doubt
Given at birth like some tattoo
Only the rare bird of prey
Can view
From above.
