Elijah

Existence

Copyright Elijah

I dreamt I drifted in darkness
Floating on black satin sheets
Warmth permeated around me
Blocking the cold
And forcing the cold to recede
I feel a wetness upon my face
And a sensation of liquid upon my arm
I open my eyes and fell the contours of my face
Feling where tears have marked their solemn passage
Viewing the weeping wounds upon my flesh
Bright, glistening blood
I notice a blade, spattered with the liquid of life
Shining amid tangled sheets
My only reality
