quietness fills the air
all I hear are my footsteps
all I see is the mist of air leaving my mouth
my breathing is becoming labored
my knees are hurting
my side has knife stabbing pains
all this is becoming white noise
the pain is getting worse
I smile
because I know it will be stopping soon
everything will be stopping soon
I have been slowly climbing a tall mountain
my tall mountain
I have been climbing it for years it seems
I can see the mountain top
my pulse quickens
a gasp is let out
I am at the precipice of nirvana
there is no one here for me
I am alone
I quicken my pace to a full sprint
in a second I will have reached the mountain top
and will full on leap off it
finally
my destiny
finally
hopefully
there will be people on the other side waiting for me
hello and goodbye world
thanks for nothing
because you gave me nothing

Aaaaahhh!!! I see purple again!! 😀
Oh man!! Did you tell him I’m a fan of his???? *imagine a screaming groupie here for amusing effects*
Again, another great piece of poetry by him! Thank you for sharing this unbolt! I could get lost in the depths of your blog for hours, days, weeks, months!!! And I’d never be bored. There is so much to (re-)discover! 🙂

Yes, I told him!
He chortled and winked 😉
Oh… and he said ‘Ooh-La-La’… I don’t remember that he was so talkative lately! He’s happy, I can bet 😛
And I’m happy too ❤
Thank you!
*imagine big red heart balloons here for an appreciative effect*
