Absinthe

I poured water over the square cube of sweetness that rest so gently upon my spoon above the goblet.  I watched the liqueur turn to a misty green; oh, how the color so closely reminded me of anger festering in my being.  As I drank to the bitterness of Absinthe, I heard a voice coming from within, speaking,"sour, yet hypnotic the way you live your life".  The truth of it all cut like a knife, a deep wound that gave birth to many thoughts.  How many souls before and yet to come, will arrive upon the shores of karmic reincarnation?  It was then, that I realized it was the spirits among me, piercing their words of previous lifetimes.  It is a never ending wheel which turns a faith  embedded in your heart, for what I know you will soon discover. Living is not just the breath you take; it's also what you breathe out.  It is a dream you spun long ago, to awake yourself unexpectedly, is to be damned for all eternity. I let the knowledge wash over the recesses of my psyche.  The smoke from my cigarette filled the aged saloon.  I rose my glass in behalf of all whom came before and yet to come," To Grandfather Time, may you flood the bloody lands of our ancient scars, wash away the shame of contempt, let us arise from the waters with the holy jewel of wisdom."  My words echoed across the eerie, dusty room.  All apparitions disappeared through the walls.  I felt the continuous wheel turn, my time there had spent.  I walked through the exit with nothing, but the treasure resting in my hand
