Feathers

Her wings beat the air

lift, pull, climb, upwards and gone

an angelic glimpse

Invisible

What if they forget?

What if I am forgotten?

What will happen then?

I'll just disappear;

slip into obscurity.

Like I never Was.

So why the effort?

Why shouldn't I give up now,

stop trying so hard.

These questions persist

resounding over again,

but I shake them off.

Despite misgivings

or doubts echoing around

I must continue.

It is more than Want,

it's Responsibility,

to me, to myself.

This life is so brief.

We have only moments here.

Make an impression.

Under a Rock

Waiting for something...

Inspiration eludes me

Mysterious muse

Sharp cuts

Shadows from the past
Ugly memories awoke
Painful reminder

Near and Far

Like a lost stranger

Peering through alien eyes

I wander unknown

Ssssswitch...

by t.a. faust

Dark, dreary midnight
Dripping madness down deeper
A dim, dismal murk

A sudden shifting

Splitting stark infinity

Night's lights going out

Crisp, clear clarity

Calm washing over my eyes

Waking from a fog
