Timeless (written at age 17)


All time stood still
and I
on top of the world
stood breathless
waiting, waiting
for the sword that
would pierce
my heart
and kill my soul
and yet, I gloried
in that moment.
ecstasy was mine.
I touched the grass
I sang to the wind
but it heard me not
then time went on
I plunged
and took my soul
into the depths
of nothingness
