The Inspiring
by DB.

roads that i'm fighting
they're not receding
air that i'm breathing
i await the inspiring
belatedly moving away
the future is here
i'm just wanting it to appear
and i'll appear to stay away

the visions it seems
my soul appearing on TV
with no one breathing
shrinking down into seeds
i shout for them to move
the gas is seeping in
the thought too crude
i'm in no mood to let them in

revolting is the feeling
that i'm showing my back
but i leave some space
and wait to attack
life is changing forever
and now is relieving
tomorrow melts together
i have no time to be sleeping.

    dan:

    good stuff. I wish I could be as lyrical. You have rhythm and assonance like no other in this piece.

    Excellent dark undertow. I am officially a fan. Thanks.
    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.
