life

 
drifting in the grey areas my soul treads water
then with a big breath of air, I swim into the depths
there shadows linger, trying to sink me with their talons
assaulting my senses with things I wish I could unknow

my soul centers and my veil is lifted as I try to focus my sight
I look down, I am ripe and pregnant
a ring on my finger says I have married in the immortal

my beloved knows me well
I have been groomed for eons to suit his tastes
His brothers of the host...boast
tell us brother how long have you been brewing this flavor
He answers I won't tell

my blue eyes well with sadness
my sorrow utters things my lips dare not say
wholly seduced and beguiled
I dream of light beings

darkness stretches and the grey moves within me
seeking to connect to my heart
I feel the spirit child move
within my chest, I hear the thump, thump of life
so much like a warriors drumming

my mind emerges from the deep and awakens...shaken
