The Darkened Storm
As I looked from up on high, a storm crashing out behind me, I saw a man looking out, his eyes facing blindly.
No eyes, no ears, nor mouth nor nose, his face blank as sky, looked at me without a face, skin pale white, emaciated by the by
He reached out to me, in my mind, and said “come to me my child”. I stepped off that bridge, my mind adrift, my palor having gone mild.
Descending down that blackened slope, dancing in the wind, there I saw, I stood myself, drenched in my own sin.
As I looked from down below, my mind, my soul, my heart clenched tight in fear. And once my body hit that pool, I saw the storm was clear
