then

by chiquita3946 - Libra

(june, 99)

when the whispers of silence pour into my ears 
i scream with reckless abandon. death 
holds my hand and my spirit follos while my body
 rests motionless in this lifeless existence, engaging
 itself in a war it cannot fight.  as 
my energy escapes me, my eyelids flutter closed, 
motion uncontrolled by my battling mind.  my mind
 is no longer advantageous in my struggle to surrender. i
 lay, incapacitated, on the grass as
 morning breaks and the dew of the grass soaks 
my skin.  
the freshness of morning seemed
 beautiful when intangible, but 
now, in its drenching embrace, i am
 repulsed. repulsed.  and suddenly, i can feel.  my
 lips curve at the echo of that infectious laughter. as
 i sense his presence my disgust fades. as his mouth
 draws near my heart sets off. 

for he has breathed life into me.

Reason for writing:

    then.
