The Earth Longs To...
The earth longs to swallow me whole
As everything on the walls shake
Within my mind
I see a figure before me
Someone who stole my peace
Who then slinked away, taking no claim
Bringing me to my knees
As waves crash over me
The earth longs to drown me in my sleep
As I fight the dark waters trying to envelope me
The figure has come closer
But doesn't seem to want me to see
A blank face in the distance
With no distinctive features that I can see
The earth longs to bury me
As the sands of time swallow me whole
More like a sandstorm, for I cannot see
The figure that once stood before me
Closing my eyes, I trudge onward into the storm
The earth longs to blind me
As the flashing lights dance through my core
Frozen in place, as tears hit the soil
I lose sight of the figure in the distance
Falling to my knees as the tears fall freely
