Tales of Infirmity

A shrivelled presence. 
A mere shadow. 
Curled tightly in 
foetal submission 
unconscious tae owr 
subconscious fears. 
Eyes dart back 
an fourth amongst 
the participants in 
this ritual of ruination. 
Never lingering though 
fir fear of also 
being snared in 
the abyss's gaze.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
