The Slow Rut Inside Inner Lightning

Steve Goldenfort

This path shown by others, she then stepped to go.
Quickly moving past them, if ever so slow.

 

She watched them all cave in, and fall in the mud.
Death won't approach those, with dragon fire blood.

 

Drudging much deeper, than any can go.
Only seeing daylight, by tipsiest of toe.

 

No one around her, with nothing to say.
Walking past people, that got in her way.

 

Once in a while, she'll climb up the side.
The taste of fresh air, has her worlds then collide.

 

Stumbling down further, knees on the floor.
Never once able, to pry open death's door.

 

This life digs in deeper, for those that won't die.
Giving them obstacles, right on the fly.

 

All she must feel through, from end to the start.
Knowing the pain of the world, is her part

    This write could have many interpretations from drugs to metaphor and I took it to mean that life is painful and the longer we strive to live the more pain we may feel. A thought provoking write.
