Extinguished: 11/20/2014

Take me,
Before I sink into unfathomable depths.
Yes...
It is true,
We may get over what ails us so,
But there is no denying
The initial impact of a realization.
The cheap attempts at degradation in which
The mind had perfected.

Take me,
Wonderful rain and winds of agony.
In all your urgency,
You heal unseen damage,
Extinguish the slightest suffering.
Return within, air with water's scent.
Captivated by a stillness,
Paralyzing all disdain.
Even if just for a brief moment,
Reality is halted for the sake of continuing composure,
For what has already occurred,
And for what has yet to.
One gaze upon your starry face
Ensues immediate release of all those words,
Said, only to disturb the peace.
A readdressing is in order,
To the unadvertised relation with earth.

Bodies will find ways to disappoint,
If careless enough.
Products of our socialized environment,
As each day passes.
We feel the weight of future's existence.

We are,
Surely on our way to salvaging what is left.
But evidence has shown,
The hope is wanted dead.
Pressing desires for material possessions,
Stimulate desperate measures,
Defending the lethal treatment, 
Sealing away sacrifices,
As justification for cementing a slyly cultivated cyclical stagnancy.

Watch the shadows carefully,
As they shift before your very conscience.
Always watching.
Always on time,
To lure you further into your indecisiveness.
Fear is the intent.
Uncertainty is the target,
But it is uncertain we shall always remain,
Until new discoveries are made to propel us into another era of questioning.

We do not exist to remain broken. 
Rejuvenation is purpose and the law to survival.
