Orion

No light but the moon

Illuminating my way.

Trees embrace me

There is nothing to say.

 

A rustle to my left

Should cause alarm.

But my breath is steady

There’s nothing to harm.

 

A moment of peace

When everything is known.

Mysteries unveiled

Destinies shown.

 

Orion guards the scene

From his post in the sky.

Fragile human and demi-God

Alone, him and I.

 

There’s no better classroom

Than the woods at night.

Only when fear is conquered

Comes the gift of sight.

The needle pierces my skin,
A sting of pain, then numb.
I’m far to used to this charade,
I close my eyes. Succumb.

My life-force, I feel it drain,
Trickling sickly from my vein.
But I don’t mind, I feel alive
I relish in the pain.

What lessons must I learn
From this blank slate before me?
Never ending the questions
My muse will emplore me.

I strive not to fade away,
Not to merely exist.
In a black and white world
More color, I’ll insist!

I can’t go forward
I can’t step behind
I don’t even know why
But I’m loosing my mind.
