7 x 2 x 1
Upon awakening I could at once sense a strange
Feeling of claustrophobia, a fear of which
I have no previous experience
Still drowsy I make to rub my eyes
The shock reels me as my hands collide
With some barrier in the gloom
I remain motionless, gasping for breath
As I recover from the fright
My mind races with thoughts as to what
I could have encountered
Fearing the worst I slowly and nervously
Raise my hand once more
Dreading the anticipated contact
As I do so my mind begins to ponder
The cold hard surface on which I lie
Suddenly contact
Merely inches above my chest
Panicking my hands flail all round me
Discovering the dimensions of my resting place
�
52
Foolishly the mind bends
Twisting to a dimension
Unsafe to human travellers
The realm of the divine
An asinine place
With the suffering
Insanity seems certain
Yet the strength of many
A testament to my point
�
Deliberately Disheartening
We beseech a god
We believe grants free will
We speak of horror
Yet just talk
We criticise what we are given
Yet accept
�
21C
It?s time to rebel
To cast of the shackles and fight
To go against society
And not be afraid to live
It?s time to stand tall
And not be afraid to be heard
To go against the dictators
And fight for our rights
�
Enigma
Once more I have pulled myself
Back from the brink of insanity
Why do I continue to fight it?
Never before so close to the edge
The reality now haunts me
As I strive to regain my strength
�
58
It was the voice that first perked my interest
In a face I was familiar with
That wondrous accent I could not place
Illuminating my life all too briefly
Now she?s gone I know not where
A year must pass before we meet
And who knows then what will not be
�
Father
The mother he knew
Was not his own
Fifty years of illusion
Gone in an instant
A simple piece of paper
Led to the discovery
Of answers to questions
Never thought of
And the pain of knowing a truth
Never asked for
