raging

Clouds drifting below
Above, the dark emptiness of the midnight skies
Wandering. Pleading for escape;
A mind bursts into the deepening void.
Space for everything and nothing.
A vacuum.
Here the mind is free;
Ungrounded. Flightless.
Thoughts wafting through-
Obscurity. Madness.
A futile search for freedom;
When hope and sanity collide.
Untouched dreams of love and rage
Fight for superiority.
Whom to trust?
The past moulded and coloured by experience;
Or the future, lost in eternity?
Grasping tentacles latch on to
Nothing.
There is only the self.
No past and no future.
Only the soul.
A soul clamouring;
Banging against the walls-
Demanding freedom, respect & innocence.
The walls recede
And gather force
Closing in with mindless intensity.
The body will be crushed;
But the soul forever raging.
