Summer

by Joe Khan

My innocence lay there
like the morning mist,
settled and ready.

A ball of do or not do.
A tiny world where
Each molecule is a choice.

Bonded by the great Conciousness,
Set free by time.

I can only hope
the blade beneath
absorbs some essence
some purity
before the abyss of air
with its rapacious vastness
fills itself,

stealing each decision
one

by one.

Hi there Joe! I found this to be a very pleasant read, Welcome to pathetic!

It is a never-ending theft...as well as a never-ending replenishment...choice is never absent, and we can never avoid the necessity of choosing. Lovely piece, Joe -I am enjoying your work a great deal!
