I've faced many obstacles in my life, some as fine and fleeting as a windswept grain of sand, others as immense and unmovable as the Earth we live on... but my greatest obstacle has been that which is as inescapable and ever-present as the shadow gripping my heels as I stare into the sun...
Something with the speed and persistence of that sandy, biting wind, yet more immense than the gravity suspending this planet in orbit...
How long have I tried to live with it, like a madman sharing lab with wild boar... and that they would expect miracles from the shattered massacre spilled 'cross the floor!
How, longing, I, for those pearly gates... as I freefall from the heavenly blue...
No glory on this morning, surely- just a taste of death's delightful brew...
