Waterfalls

Waterfalls -

Darkness and shades of gray envelop me,
Old friends, bringing salvation
From this crown of thorns my life has bought.
Rattling chains and cloaks of silver,
Floating eyes and breaking glass.
Someone screams and I’m gone.
My face has faded and my life grows bleak.
There’s nothing but a white place,
Blank,
Nothing left but tears raining down
To drown me.
My screams are choked,
Hands closed around my throat.
The stars have fallen from the sky,
The moon a bloody spot in an endless stretch of black.
Bright flames engulf everything in their paths.
Leaves swirl across scorched pavement,
Catching the wind and burning like a forest alight.
Blue skies turn blood red as autumn leaves.
Buildings crumble and disappear,
The flames set me alight.
Has all the water dried up like the sands of the Sahara?
Where have all the waterfalls gone?
