Premium Member The Payload
"The Payload" 

The payload

like school fish released 
from the tight confines
of a course rope...

Along the mountain pine valley did the Iron Horse roar,
A steam belching black demon, burning red hot coals
Within it's steel belly.
Speed's hell bound creation, driven by greed's insatiable hunger,
Faster, faster it moves at acceleration rush,...

Yet upon another reflexive routine dash

with idea praising basic vital functions

Knox'D Out
It was early, 
The solemn, silent sunrise wrought its
Rays across the untamed land like a
Shorn-clad Delilah.
Dew glistened the foliage
Like undefiled razer blades nestled
Within a mortar's payload.

Suggestively seductive in its 
Sureness of the divine destiny
Lingered,...

There are many birds of prey 
on any given day,
those that roam the skies above 
seeking rabbit, squirrel, or morning dove.

for what can harm these birds of prey....

I was reading the paper...

I Get It
Empathic..... Taking on the pain
Of another as though
It bares your name 

Finding relationships

Not only your load ,but theirs and the daily payload(to capacity)

Needing to isolate
to reboot as it were
from continuous energy bombardment...
