Stream
Gaze upon the stream
The current of a juggernaut should avoid
For its treacherous waters bring danger to the weary traveler
destined to embark into the void
Submerged I shall become
Gasping for air, clawing the bank
torrent’s fiery acceleration does smother
Hope curls into the the air, departing the survivor manqué
Perpetual motion, perpetual misery
Sickening and revolting it is when viewed unclad
There is no true solace but death
Yet we allow the voice to whisper, we must be mad,
But melt it away into the stream
Faceless nameless, strip away my identity
With time all meaning shall sublime
Surrender to the flow of astounding absurdity
The infinitesimal droplet is member of the infinite drink
Closer and closer approaches the lustrous moonbeam
I scream for an absent savior
For I drown in the stream
