Fury

Life, Oh furious life
How it drives me
Sexual magical brutal fury
At my finest height
My coarsest depth
Creation inspiration originality passion
Violence pain pure fearless destruction
Giving and receiving blow upon blow
To recover from never
Pursued by its raging intensity
As it dances a furious dance
To create or destroy

Spirit, Oh human spirit
I become the object of your violent rant
Raw brutal animal
This is what we are
And we, civilized to disguise
That terrifying animal
lurking within us

Oh furious creature
Exalted transcendent self-destructive unutterable
Lord of creation

Vulnerably fragile

Glimmering mountain tops stabbing open skies in shades of gray greets me as my mind's eye revisits an arduous journey towards the edge of this precipice on which I now stand. My new found wings I feel spread under bristling feathers, readying for this moment of truth. With keen anticipation I draw the cool air carried on the mountain breeze and start in an exhilarating thrill. I shudder as its fresh caress enters my lungs ...This moment captures my focus as I draw confidence in this fear conquering quest... And I will be as vulnerable and fragile as it is possible for me to be... shredded to the core ... stripped bare... And when I fall ... it will be near your feet.
