Admonishments

In darkness I can see Fear, smell Suffering a mile wide.
It attempts to suffocate me, stealing oxygen as a practiced thief a jewel.
Perhaps I scan its otherworldly fate and intertwine it with my own,
Yet again, perhaps I let it enter and depart without a by your leave.
Either way, it's agony shall engulf me only to learn of disappointment in the rawest of forms.

I bequeath the blackness, and entertain the time slipping away into the river of Father Time.
Laughter, I hear, is a respectful way to permit the Sun admission.

Thnak you for this inspirational write. A good read to start my day 10 from me.

Poetry is what is lost in translation.
