Let Alone

Let Alone


A quiet reflection in the night sky as a star explodes and lets its radiance fall upon us
A shrill moment when the earth stops spinning and an angel comes down in a flash of light
A sight unseen as a mystic harmony takes over even the least likely to hear its call
A velvet touch coming from the harshest realities we've all ever known to exist
A prick on the flesh as we're injected by loves cure for lust's thickening venom
A sweet smell of success without the putrid odor of defeat's foul reprecushions
A bland taste that's just the right touch of spice to make it fun yet tolerable to live
A tale to tell it all and keep the wonders of joy flowing through us after we're gone
A light at the end of the tunnel to guide us somewhere beyond what skin confines us to
A day, a mere day of this I'd move heaven and earth just to know exists let alone...
