EXODUS...
For almost nineteen years, he walked Searching for something he did not need Yet couldn't live with out Speaking in double talk In tongues that made pitchforks He became weary And cynical... Traversing through fery sands barefooted He longed to sit Relax in the lap of love's luxury But such is the curse of the human spirit We always want what we can't have He came across a mirage An image so beautiful to behold Too beautiful He shielded his eyes And thus became blind Figuring that this image had passed him He continued to walk among the lost Until he was stopped in his tracks by the scent The scent of hope Of spirit Of trust A scent so alluring That he immediately dropped his own defenses Dropped to his knees And was kicked like a stray Led astray by his own devices He liked the pain He enjoyed it It was drug paraphernalia to him It had to be If he kept coming back to be kicked... Soon the scent became bored of her own game And moved on So when he no longer smelled the scent He became despondent And crawled to the sound of his heart dripping from his chest cavity ...drip.. ...drip... ...drip... Another drip soon echoed And became synonomous with his own He felt the coolness The wet of the babbling lake That spoke of future and past tenses And whispered his name Which was new to him He surmised that if she knew his name Then she knew him So he laid down now Within this water And felt comfortable... Too comfortable.. The lake was deeper than he had imagined And he began to drown As water filled his nose and lungs He became unconscious And saw his own demise at the hands of the illusive lake... He awakens on a sandy beach Eyes now wide open The watery sand settling around him He began to impress his foortprints into it And walked on Eyes now wide open...
