Troubled Escape

Over the shoulder
A twisting past
Searches for answers
In the hovering gray mist.

Meandering drift
Of meaningless annuity
That pull champions
To the breast of oblivion.

Pushing away
Grasping the rose
Peeling of flesh
Thorn by thorn.

Tormenting journey
Defying ascent
Tears fill the moments,
Oh, the elegnece of pain.

Feeling the way
As slight fingers
Penetrate the immediate shadows
Finding authentic foundation.

Struggling 'neath
Tons of humanity
Ascending the staircase,
Deliberately, one step at a time.

Emerging from the cryptic haze
Destiny cleans deep
No longer demons follow
Free to dream again.
