Sediments: A few remaining thoughts
Unfathomable
Intangible
―Nothing solid to grasp
The words I spoke
from my visions unmet
with the reality seen
―Things beyond thee
My visions of the past, last
Deconstructed by the devil’s thoughts
Sinister and dark
An ungodly mark
Extinguishing Heaven’s spark
Weathered and worn
Now suspended and forlorn
Passion eroded
My dreams corroded
Terminal velocity loaded
Zero acceleration found
The drag force heavy
Buoyancy gone
―Gravity lost
A dire situation
No weight to the impact
Of events on the horizon
Fundamental consequences
Of settling traps
The particular matter
Keeps us moored in a black hole
Decomposing seasonally
We funnel about
Consuming toxins
The devil’s decay
To sustain his evil and jealous ways
Abyssal, shifting,
Now saltating we roll
Washing away obscurity from all
Rousing curiosity
About constant truths?
The curtain shears
New vision appears
Job 5, NIV
6 For hardship does not spring from the soil,
nor does trouble sprout from the ground.
7 Yet man is born to trouble
as surely as sparks fly upward.
Isaiah 1: 31, NIV
30 You will be like an oak with fading leaves,
like a garden without water.
31 The mighty man will become tinder
and his work a spark;
both will burn together,
with no one to quench the fire.”
I penned a small book called, Sediments: A Few Remaining Thoughts, not long after I completed Side Steps Terrorizing Sound Bites and Side Steps Terrorizing Sound Bites Part 2: Some things are black and white. My idea for Sediments, was that it would be a little spiral notebook that when read in a forward spiral the reader would hear and see (black stick figures) the few remaining dark thoughts that I had left after writing the Side Steps books. When the reader spiraled the book from the back, they would read another little book I started called, Petrichor.
Petrichor is a distinctive scent, usually described as earthy, pleasant, or sweet, produced by rainfall on very dry ground. Due to the lack of response to my first six publications, I have decided not to complete this project but will share some of the poetry in upcoming blog posts. I hope you enjoy them, and would love to hear what you think.
