A Goal Is Shattered

Out of my element, out of my mind

A mission so short lived, a mission so hard
at ease with the world of dark and calm

Peace flows from recesses of silence
loud stream of soundless sound plays
warmth not yet cooled infuses hopeful times

Thought of nothing is filled with thoughts of everything
pushed away only to be replaced by others
every attempt failed, every failure abolished
constant battle for dominance

And then it comes, out of thin air
airless air carried on windless wind
filling the open space of all time
grasping at life, squeezing the life out of it
yearning to hasten a long wait for death

thought suffocates under the tendrils of death
thoughtlessness filled with an urgent despair
every crevice of mind both empties and fills
leaving room for nothing but a plea to flee
eyes pop open, legs pop up, relocation complete
in one swift moment a goal is shattered

outside the cloud of ash, beyond the hail of death
sinking into place once more but alas the calm is gone
there is no return on a clock the meaning of which perished
there is no peace of mind to be had in this place
begone demons of hell back whence you came!
Take the lifeless clouds of tar in your retreat
and do not return tomorrow when thoughtless thought comes back
The cloud is everywhere! :nuu:
