Trouble Mind
twisted tunnels overlap deep into the shadows
rocks like diamonds emit twinkles of light embedded
on it's sides
this labyrinth of hollow space glimmers a promise of escape
keep going down ascend up, too narrow as the gap closes
listen to your heart feel your breath crawl on knees claw with fingers
where is this
what is this
why is this
am I dead and buried
am I closed within a dream
distant is a slimmer of light
beckon of hope
shiver of survival
whisper of eternity
open the mind by shutting the eyes
beneath you the earth shakes and cracks
the world collapses into darkness
eyes blink rapidly
throat swallows hard
arms reach up
voice screams screams screams
sit up and lay back down
night sweats sweetly on a trouble mind
