Zip Lines and Floors

I live in the fall, the dying nation between two worlds. I am barefoot, strapped to a catapult. I toil where the dark storms brew. I see you there, like the armrest between the discomfort, and the sadness. And I see you standing staunchly, as if the answers are in the lightning you seek. It is only me. And I reside here, where all lands die, not where you can find comfort in your lost lack of liberation. I know you wish for color in the grey, but I am ash in the pot you burned, not the rainbow for which you yearned

This was very cool, kind of dark and lonely but that last stanza is incredible in the seriousness of emotion it expresses. The lead in gives us a glimpse of the world as you see it now and that end, just tells us why. Very cool.

That is true. Sometimes it hard to see or feel our own colors though. Thank you for the comment.
