Supernatural

Eyes like fantastic moons that shiver in some stagnant lake folded like a white rose-leaf hair was golden as tints of sunrise tongue is like a scarlet snake. It took on deep roar as of a cloven world running to and fro like frightened sheep face as imperturbable as fate. It began to roar with that sibilant sound which resembles the hiss of a serpent and turned on me like a thunder-cloud. Frightened like a child in the dark anxiety hung like a dark impenetrable cloud. My face collapsed as if it were a pricked balloon And my hair was as harsh as tropical grass and gray as ashes. My impulse came and went like fireflies in the dusk. Life stretched before me alluring and various as the open road like serpents struggling in a vulture's grasp my body broken as a turning wheel. My breath travel to Heaven like vapor goes And my head was like a great bronze bell with one thought for the clapper. My lungs began to crow like chanticleer my mind swayed idly like a water-lily in a lake. My spirit seemed to beat the void, like the bird from out the ark My thoughts came yapping and growling round me like a pack of curs fled like a spirit from the room. I vanished like the shapes that float upon a summers dream.
