Almost Home

Armored beasts continue to trample the earth's surface



giants standing dominant above all,



their eyes aglow with a ghastly white haze beneath the shifting,



never constant, luminescence of a moonlit sky



imposing the certainty of death and suffocation onto those who would cautiously trespass



only a chilled disregard towards those of a more diminutive class, vermin found well below an impossible height



yet within the line of sight lies home,



this safe haven with all of its blessings and securities



fulfills a sprint without yield



forward with every sense of panic



legs and arms stretched far and wide toward a path chaotic



places mind and reason before the slightest chance of ease and safety



despite the quake of their stomp, regardless of risk,



across this terrain, hope can be found and within thine grasp



though your body found mangled under weight and volume



a chilled disregard from the armored beast before mine



toward the stained carcass layed down without motion



...



unfortunate soul,



a frantic pace, a noble effort



so close my good friend, you were almost home...
