A Cry for Earth
I was set free,
when I remembered her name.
I stepped on the tightrope,
arms flailing,
her thin threadlike fingers
intertwined
in my mind.
I walked the abyss,
of time,
fell into the vortex
as she swallowed me whole.
There,
she shattered me
into a billion pieces...
and for the first time
I knew,
and my heart leapt
from the confines
of my chest.
