Deeper Within

i fell but no one heard
~
seared and sentenced to solitude
a penance of mythical proportions
peace didn't even try
 
found in a lost barrel of steel
where the last chambers spent
their dying breath
 
red, black, no going back
pushing the postulates  
between life and man
no lending hand
 
run over or overrun
drips and beats silenced
storms strike
 
night blinks  
suffering blanks
amid blackouts
 
angel in white I can see
or am I blind to what this means
this way was never kind
~
hushed morning breaks
