Page 68 - Cogito, ergo sum

Limelight

I look upon the sky
Amidst walking into the abyss
I drift apart into the shallowness
Lost lost lost all along into the fallen trenches
I drench myself in the endless sadness

Dance dance dance till I shed tears of blood

I stumble upon an old mighty tree
Stood there watching it wipe my face
Sat there leaning on the warm trunk
Time flew by
The petals fall on my face wiping my sadness
The warmth rekindled my memories
Off my mom holding me
She was there all along
Evoking my promises to be kept
Commitments to be carried
The flower kisses my forehead
She will always hold me till my end
I shall walk in to the endless abyss with my
dazzling petals
