Overcast

fragment
air…Air…AIr…AIR 
Thicker by the second, held captive by a murderous still 
Silent thunder bellows and calls me It roars, uncovers its wrath I can but oblige.
In the eyes’ distant gaze, there lies the magnificence… 
the disdained sun slowly awakening… 
Unfocused disparity, to repeat the last.
Strife within self, hanging heavy from the strings, puppeted by the wind. 
We eagerly await the rising… but all that awaits us is the dark, a glimpse of the fall is in sight, the heavy heave to drop us into the snatches of humanity. 
Worry? Why should we worry when the future lies within our incapable hands? 
The haunted look on our weary faces - death in battle. 
No wounds, no scars… that one would observe. 
Under the shade of our skin, our souls seep through into the outer.
A slow transitioning into the greater, the stranger, the wiser, the better. 
What we become will not be of our own, but of a power above ours. 
Indecision casts our fate, for no mere mortal would withstand choice. 
Dense light rises the fallen, up out of the ashes. 
Unbeknownst, undiscovered, unable to be lead. 
We, the hopeless surrender to the cold monstrosity, blood-thick
It is the line in our skylines.
I, I, I… I stumble upon my words but recant? NEVER! 
They cannot and will not strip me of my love, my faith, my hope. I do not yet understand my fate…
