The Water, just there...

"Dust is where all the demon activity comes from."

Thinking without time to write or rhyme,
Void of meter or base.
Rhythm,   just a chord away.

Solitude, just there.
The alter, just there.
Transformation, just there.

Yet light,  pounds, life into my heart.

Her's gone, the coffin,
Just there.

Speared, Stapled, Slumped,
 
Carved initials bury the beat,
Under the march, the cadence,
the cadence cry's ,

Into the night,
into the reverence,
two, three, four.    one, two.

Given. Enough !

Consequences, Crosses,we will bear,

This worlds divisions.

Author's Note

Quote 16: "He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it." Chapter 41, pg. 154-155 Moby Dick, Melville.

It is in the dust where the demons of our life - past wait to rise again when the dust settles and enough revenge pulls them out again. There are those who are never able to let the dust stay where it is, but must keep stirring it again and again, blowing hot winds of trouble o'er them. The quote from Moby Dick is perfect - sometimes it is the wrath of a nation that must be healed! The divisions hold the consequences!
Another amazing write Cliff!

[David Scott]

Moby Dick is such a foreboding and dark tragedy. We often forget the line between heaven and hell is "just there"... we are ever close to the edge.
I feel like I have read words lined with the weight of gold.
