Gazing into Hollowness!
Gazing into Hollowness,
Dripping shiny orbs
I look back over my shoulder
How could I have ever coped?
Whispering to the drums, I ask myself, Why did you possess, expect and obsess?
Howling in the silence I stand firm and stout,
What were you thinking? And now you're burned out.
The screeching chirps and thrusting winds have driven me close to the edge,
I gaze down and notice the rocky depth,
Nictating with the orange sun, Finally! I can rest.
Surging adrenaline kicks me back in the head,
I see the reality and the world that stands, is the best.
WHAT have you done and Now you regret?
I tell myself NO! Go back there are better things to be had.
Turning back I smile on my way home,
OH Boy, Just in time for the breakfast, now dare you you go back!
