Poetry – Skeleton At The Feast

Walk Out In Stillness

Blessed are those who walk out in stillness – away from what they know best.

Today came silence.

Today tides welled on the sidewalk.

Today came rain, through a clear blue sky.

My sunshine, my starlight, gravity and the void –

“The River” – most every city holds this entity.

This fractal fate, this chance in time…

“My dear, I can’t stay – you have a disease, I’m afraid…”

“It seems you still have your wits about you.”

Those who take on battles they know they may not win.
