What?

************************

As I sit here alone, in my room

the vision comes once more.

The darkness, then the light, fills me

with a jewel, my heart, the core.

 

Racked by the weeping of a girl

standing, lying, dying.

She does it to feed her children.

To appease their hunger crying.

 

My mind, the lens, crosses dunes

in the early morning haze.

Roaring beasts fill my ears till

there's no recognition of the days.

 

Arms reaching, hands touching me

cold stillness, their embrace.

I must leave this memory dead here

but the thoughts keep up the chase.

 

I reached for the secret too soon.

To possess it. Was I mad?

For what I might have held, did

I lose all that I had?

I had to read this twice, it makes me think.

On first pass, I think I read into it.

On the second I read what was actually written - and it was better.
