The Reckoning

your bitter sweet embrace engulfs all.
ruling with absolution.
commanding reality itself.
unchecked and unbalanced.
carrying me away like a wild animal.
lost forever in the weight of this burden.
destruction or peace is all you know.
such arrogance to presume you know me.

being me for too long.

did you really believe you could win?
how much power does it take to rule with no freedom?
too many times we have danced to this music.

poor little heart.
you scream so very loud with no voice.

in your infinite wisdom you missed one thing.
i died to this world long ago. 
and your power has always been an illusion.

goodbye my eternal companion.

Too Late

gentle flower sways
loved by the suns warm embrace,
away from earth climbs.
barren the landscape behind,
forever changed creation.

Inspiration

loosed in its fury

violent thrash in splendor

secure the path is

never to return homeward

the unknown will keep him warm

Understanding

free the rivers course

influence pulls to and fro

forever knowing

shore returned to destruction

anew the cycle begins

Loss

height of knowing peace

joyous in splendid wonder

truth master of all

inner heart of each traversed

the wind is untamed and free

Realization

the easy wind blows

soft its kiss of nurturing

understanding not

married as one pain through growth 

the reed knows not peace in life
