That's me in red. The wave knocked the top off...

whisper (2)
Whispering in the darkness, nothing remains at all.
Trees, metal, tile & flesh drown me in blood.
Closing my eyes tighter still the breath escapes me and still the wave rises higher and rages more powerfully.
Desperate to make a sound but beyond fear there is no denying the emptiness that swallows me whole. Never again will I hear my love smile. Nothing shall remain - not even a memory - for they are stripped away by power unforeseen and incapable of being imagined.
Whispering in the darkness I die, whether or not I survive this watery hell.

Lead Me
Your words roar in my head like thunder and i am shattered, unable to respond. You want my whole life and I just want to cry.
I want to go home. I do not want to suffer anymore. I cannot stand and still you remain beside me - calming my fears and easing my doubts.
Overwhelmed and incapable, but such is not the truth. Far too much to do and still it is enough. It shall be all right.
Only fools claw at me and attempt to drag me down. My friends are broken and crushed by the darkness that surrounds.
Oceans away I cry for them. Tears separate my heart, and pleading I beg for mercy upon them. Lead them also back to you, what we might stand upon your words that roar in my head.
I come undone, at least allow it to be on a strong foundation that is cleaned and rebuilt upon easily. Do not let me go without you, for without you I am nothing. You are everything. You have my whole life already, lead it as you must.

Floating
Each whisper a cry, longing to be released from this cage. Once roaming the earth but now trapped in this… this... cocoon that requires me to seemingly be born again from a womb? Once was enough – I must endure this trial again?
Seemingly so a dream stirs inside that casts such a beautiful vision of looking down upon this world while floating in the night sky – free from harm but still maintaining a role. No wish granted could match the spectacle of flight and though I coul not before now the hope seems within grasp!
Is such thinking not foolish though? Once legged and now winged? Unlikely! Unfathomable. No. It certainly cannot be so… but how does one forget? Shy should this dare be forgotten?
Fight! Freedom! With the power of seemingly another’s strength the urge yields sunlight shining down. And escaping from the cell it fades beneath me. And realization that by pursuit of the dream it has been reached, the wings flap and float and dare to fly higher still, now knowing that creation is meant to soar.
Change
Blink and the world has forever changed yet again. All my friends – where have you gone? Or where has it I have left you for? My mind races and new faces appear, new souls are bonded and much joy and celebration occurs and BLINK.
Lost! All is lost again! Why? How? A journey with constant beginning can lead to no ending, and is this recycling story not mine?
Blink.
No, I remain and it is the others who change. I feel my own hearts’ loss and gain. No control over them do I have, but such does not tell that the bond is broken, only removed from my sight.
Suddenly I feel the love remain again. I – blink – still abide in it. Blink. I feel it surge in me as the changes bring more and not less. Blink. Foundations are not weathered by change when made of truth and action of its love.
Blink. I am forever changed. Are you?
Blink.

Awake
Eyes open and will not shut for the prayers of the dying are at hand. What price can be given or paid for such a chance as to know even the greatest of things? And such an opportunity is thrown away and for what? FOR WHAT? To see a new jewel on a mistress’ neck? To own another suit with many silk ties? To eat an extra lobster with a finer bottle of wine?
This nightmare goes on while the dream dies in the sufferings hands. And thought they see a new force loving them, do they ignore the possibility of leaving it all to follow that which loves them more than anything they’ve ever known? Is their sacrifice any less or greater than mine?
Yes, because I have already chosen and have no fears but one left to face. May today also be a good day to die, and that when it is time I am prepared to and do die well.
Show these in dreams and miracles that the cost of being awake is worth it.
