Day 341 - Mundane Danger

We are in great danger of living

Ordinary lives without a moment's glance

At all that surrounds us as miraculous

For each and every moment is, if we wish it to be

The sun exposing each inch of the earth

Into life, raw and undefined

The smoke billowing from a fire for us

Keeping you and I cozy despite the storm

Even the rushing way we wave goodbye to it all

From the speeding simplicity of an automobile

We are in great danger of living ordinary lives

For we never believe in the extraordinary

Day 143 - Mind Maze

Locked into horrors you cannot know

Every piece of my soul distorted and aged

Mottled beyond repair from long ago

Wishing my demons could at long last be caged

And yet they still hover over my head

All the redeeming thoughts remain unsaid

They once lingered on lips of red

But have since faded to varying grays

If only she had not completely misled

We might have made it to another phase

Instead I am left pulled apart into pieces

Until what I know of this world ceases

For now I cower to pull away

From all the terrifying possibilities

As threads of life begin to fray

One of the many tolls and fees

That come with dangers in the mind

The most treacherous and painful kind

Day 71 - Malicious Path

Malicious Path

I am lasting out in this unreasonable heat

The final moments of the season you will not cheat

I will divide you from what should be

I am the last bit that you will see

Of the expanse that once drenched everything

The lonely tiredness before being blasted with spring

There is meaning in what I alone can be

The hint of a malicious calamity

That soaks your world in total black

Swerving down the cold and narrow track

That the shadows hide so well

The entrance to your own personal hell

That hides within the growing boredom

That is the remains of a ruined kingdom

Oh yes I still wait to sabotage you

Will you manage to make it through?
