Layers
I hear voices,
Familiar voices
Of agonizing tones,
In an apocalyptic zone,
Within a zone,
Within a zone.
I look around
And I’m not alone.
There are saviors,
Rangers, rescuers,
Fighters and warriors.
There are also cries
For immediate help
Echoing all around;
Growing count of
Unquiet worriers
Feeling unsound.
My little finger
Brushes a hand
That quickly releases
Tension off my soul,
Surely somebody
Who plays a major role;
The face is unclear,
Even with all the
Light that appeared.
Slow dropping and
Dieng doleful voices
Gives rise to a new fear,
Am I going to lose
This hand that’s
Near and dear?
I feel a crack
Beneath my feet
Stretching beyond
The visible boundary,
Producing immense heat.
It pushes me
Off my stance,
Giving me a short
And final glance
Of the hole in the ground
Taking my dear one down
In the magma stream,
As I echoingly scream
In a seamless dream
Within a dream,
Within a dream.
