Rubatosis
A mind has vacated its body
Escaping voids lingering deep within a battered soul
With ignorance to the disconnect it harvests
A storm is brewing yonder
And one will become wary listening to the thunder
If no mind is paid to the
Pulses of lightning illuminating the skies
Alas, a single heartbeat calls out to a statute state of
Subconscious being,
It is a rhythmic knocking against one’s core
So unusually prominent, it has taken them by surprise
As if they are sitting in the middle of a cobalt atmosphere
Bursts of light erupt through the skin, illuminate the dark
Nostalgic snippets of a worthwhile existence flash all around
With every beat of the heart sending life through trusty veins
A steady metronome keeping time alive for a soul that has abandoned ship.
