chapter ten : this beautiful madness
Published Wednesday, June 28, 2006 by p-h-i-l.
listening over and over to their disharmonies,
the rush of the breeze felt to my chest,
i grasp to breath, and the world spun,
awkward as it maybe,
the candle rekindles its flame,
a light sprung forth, and it dims again.
i felt missing.
i reached over, as i limped,
in my attempt to shelter the light,
the need for colour and warmth.
struggling, just a fight to overcome,
i held its foot, bend tightly my sore arms,
refusing to release, and not until,
a glimpse of it.
what art thy name, it asked.
then, it raised my arms,
and left,
not before it strucked me blissfully.
and i lay there motionless,
in its serenity,
i utter,
what a beautiful madness.
