I know the unknown
In darkness I know
My eyes, blinded without light
My ears, roaring with silence
Desperately grasping, trying to feel
But the deadening palpitation overwhelms
The fear is setting in
It’s coming
I’m sure of it
It’s the unsubstantiated assurance
The numbing sensation of trust and faith, simply knowing – assuming – believing
Every reasonable thought destroyed – overwhelmed by the odd feeling of tranquility
I consume fear
The anticipation sends shivers down my back
Like ice water shooting through my body
The chills so excruciatingly refreshing
I close my eyes and relax
It’s time
There is no logic involved, no reason – nothing
Just us
Nothing else matters
His vision becomes my destiny, my body his weapon
We are one
We move in darkness, silently slicing through the air, but roaring as we hit the ground
We are unstoppable, undeniable – it’s inevitable
We flow as one – firm yet fluid – never once stopping to look back
For the first time in forever I felt alive
It was a fleeting moment, a single flash
One we shared together
We dissolve into pieces, the only semblance of our journey the carnage left behind
For now, I am alone
But together, we are darkness.
Great poem !!!
