IN THE WIND

I feel you as this pain flows through my veins
I wish that I could wrap my arms around you again
I looked to you for comfort
Miles away, nothing is left to bridge this gap
May God forsake me that I damn his gift of time
I don't feel it as a gift
But rather some twisted torture

Why must I struggle with everything?
Why is this life so difficult?
I cannot touch the distance
It is too far for these hands to travel
My mind spins around, never-ending
I cannot remember when it began

It feels as if my life is a car spinning out of control
And I am the sole passenger
Road signs and telephone poles pass by in tiny flashes
I can find no brakes

Faster the engine revs
That sinking feeling in my gut only intensifying as it does
Where is my solace?
Where is my peace?
Neither in sight, only these frightening images
I grab hold of the wheel
Trying my best to take control of my destiny to no avail
The car driving faster and faster has but one place to go
It is too late this time

Seeing the rail in front of me
Surrounded only by blue sky and daisies in the wind
I feel the hit
The engine finally stops
Though it is not needed for this decent
The sinking feeling ever-growing
As my fear and angst continues to intensify
The car performs in a floating dance
The ground no longer limiting its expression
I can feel the end coming soon
The ground approaching even faster
I can feel it
There is no time, there is no time

I have no choice but to return
Looking out, there is no time
As the daisies blow…
In the wind
