Rich soil

Dark earth

Green vines

Stealing time

Sand pours out of an hourglass

My bloody hands grip it shards

Pain

Pain

Pain

The never ending chant

Flowers bloom where scarlet drops land on the sun-scorched earth

The bright fragrance covering the coppery tang

I scream

Scream

Scream

My emotions bloom and are torn away

Out of the decaying field that used to be my mind

A laugh bubbles up

Maniacal

Bitter

The flowers withered

I dug my fingers into the ground

As time slips from my grasp

A twisting thing, slippery as a soul

A tear runs down my cheek

Landing on the dirt beneath me

I fall

A desperate prayer crosses my lips

The ground swallows me whole

Taking my thoughts with it

Deep into the never ending soil.
