A Wasted Life
Falling
A free falling emptiness
no freedom at all
Twisting
Spinning
Arching
Beyond the grasping reach
shadowed blurs
the sound and fury
of unknown life in unseen halls
A plunging spiral into depths without end
Falling
Down and away
Away from smiling faces
with dead eyes
The chittering
chattering
twittering
too loud laughter of clattering magpies
Strutting their worn facades
at a grotesque masquerade ball
Hurling
unchecked
in the ehoes of silent screams
Torn from the soul
born
to die
an unheard call
Falling
in the vacuum of vanished time
