Escape

(originally penned 12-31-04)

Standing on the edge of a ragged cliff
I am unbalanced from the winds of Mystery.
I do not know if I should recede
Or fall forward,
Into you

Rummaging through the far reaches
Of my mind for memories of you,
Only to find them empty.
Less deserving of my time.
So I turn away.

Pressing against me in a dark corner of the room
Asking me
To worship you like a God.
But I am full of reason,
My eyes are blind and my heart is still

Discovering your soul to be inflexible
I've become disdainful, tired
Of waiting in the wings of foolishness.
My feelings...
... are wavering

Taking another endless sip of the Green Fairy
Because I have grown wearing of eating snow cherries from France
I become content with resolve.
My only solution is to...
... escape
