tim's Bits and Pieces - 46. Visions
there's no reason to worry or fear ... it comes to us all. I'm not ill or anything ... it's just my head and what's in it.
Autumn
Around me today flew a tornado of leaves
Each orange, red or gold, the colours of autumn
The changing of seasons isn’t sad to me
It’s just another year of stories to be told
There I am in my skeletal remains
each day more of me falls away
peeled away by me
or just rotten
Words fly, like a murmuration of starlings
and seem to matter less
as does all and everything
I feel little, care less,
as flesh loosens
life means little
important things are not
I live by rote, not desire,
not any longer
and fear, once huge and black
is now meek and mild beside me
I wonder why I trudge forward
I wonder why about much
I simply wish to be warm
when I die.
I can see the end of my road
it is not so far ahead of me
More and more this vision comes
I wish I could push it away
Stop it
the lack of time drives me to
write.
