Unearthed Misplacement


I sit upon steadily numbing ground

nothing occurs to mind

not aware of what's around

disregarded the enitity I was to find

 

Existence leaks from my fingers

reality escapes from my skin

life barely lingers

as I diminish away within

 

Everything to me is lost

earth no longer matters

my actions came with a cost

my living glass shatters

 

The light before me now glistens bright

it grasped me from my obscurity and conveyed me back to life
