Poem: "Gathering Stones"

“Gathering Stones”


Thunder looming overhead
the springtime of my demise
draws nearer with each breath
to the point I can no longer bear it


The seething vantage point stares back
with hollow, crimson eyes
until the voice of despair
cackles with unbridled disdain

The world as I knew it is ending
as the grave calls to me in my unfit sleep
my arms grow weary from the fight
my strength is nothing now

So I smile and nod
and, without a single word,
gather stones to throw in into the storm
when my bright chasm is over.
