I wrote this poem on the blood moon
Enjoy!
Running after rings
See the pattern in the things
Thought myself so cool and clever
Discerned the path that stretched forever
Leading me to destiny
With confidence and certainty
Tracking as a hunter to a deer
Footsteps that were made so clear
Truth was found in hunger pangs
Propelling forward by my fangs
Till my body forced
By its fatigue
Brought itself
down to its knees
Upon a pause
My labored breath
Caught itself in emptiness
Silent in a golden gleam
A wink appeared behind the scenes
Your form was there between the trees
Folly became realized
And my heart was magnetized
I laughed so hard I couldn’t speak
strength was found when I was weak
I veered direction, went off course
Thorns and brambles pierced me to my source
A name echoed inside my ear
Dripping through the sweat of fear
Dark and lost I fell into the mud
Felt the Earth become my blood
Penetrated an harmonic chord
As a corpse collapsing on a sword
You took me into your embrace
With a smile upon your face
I had descended from the chase
found a diamond in its place
