Random Design (Free verse) by thepinkbunnyofdoom
Life is a turbulent sea of flux,
with waves carrying me
in different directions.
I am beginning to see
layers and connections
between details on parchment
and new frames for design.
It's time to pull the curtain
from my eyes and decide on a direction.
Fear and hope equally shine bright
across my face
as the season of renewal returns.
Friend's have sides that we can not see.
Love applies to more than merely lovers,
sweet blinding poison.
Flaws are ignored for the trade of fellowship
between traveling companions.
Numbers build strength,
and strength builds courage.
Courage keeps us going through the dark,
and gives us faith
that we're on the right road.
The wind cannot be predicted,
and the open sea is known for storms.
As the rain beats heavy
and the mind divides the options
into,
either sink or swim,
know that knowledge
can be a limitation.
As we reassure ourselves
and put things into frame,
we tend to call wild things tame.
Dogs and Wolves will walk with man,
but one keeps his distance
while the other will eat from your hand.
Trusted ropes snap, without care
of where you have been,
all that matters is here and now.
Falling from the dizzying heights
memories being the only sights
as I slip closer to my coffin.
It's come down to fly or die
something about this
feels like a dream.
Only it's not.
The pain comes rushing in
legs turning up bound and broken
beneath the sirens glare.
Tremors grab my hands
as I brushed blood stain
laying in the middle of my face.
The meter was running
fuel pouring from a broken valve
as everything became renamed.
Numbers took on new meaning.
The odds began to overwhelm
Life is an unlikely chance
