0 present from the heavens

the sky opened up.  thunderously rain pelted the earth.  vibrations shook the ground vibrating through my feet and coursing rapidly through my body touching every nerve.  though under cover the dampness invades me, clinging to my clothes.  my eyelids droop with the weight of dew infested eyelashes.  as the cold begins to seep into me, i stare off into the onslaught amazed by the brilliance of the moon.  it illuminates the rushing waterfall of the heavens.  i find myself entranced and barely notice the fevered shaking of my body as the dampness begins to set in.

0 out of control

my world is spinning
sucking the breath right out of me
focus is next to impossible
especially when I stare straight ahead
I stumble
physically
mentally
verbally
my world is spinning
and I can't catch my breath
nor can I see what is before me
it is as though I'm on an endless tea cup ride

0 in the dark of morning

sleep filled eyes search haphazardly
fumbling aimlessly through darkness
groggily grabbing the closest thing
two different socks
match two different shoes
