“Hell’s Cave”
By ms.tmha
You have to be crazy
To deal with life’s craziness,
The King, my friend, said to me.
With such brevity
And I laughed.
Such an unwarranted speech.
Unassumeful,
Yet inhumanly,
His words vibrated in my ears
And I lifted my head
To He, the unforgotten Spirit
Who engineered
So meticulously
My continuous road’s
Distorting extremities.
And then I rose instinctively,
And walked quietly down
That path
Of ugly nuisances.
That road not yet traveled.
Enduring His tests faithfully
Because I believed
That He believed
My dreams
As not just visionary.
So surreal
Was my journey
As I leaped,
Stifling,
From that scorching
Rocky path
Over that jagged cliff
Fearfully
Down into
Those fiercely crashing waters
Of life’s abyss.
Aching,
My open sores bled
Crimson drops of remorse
In heated waters
As I swam through
Those hell dark caverns.
Winding through
Endless miles of coral hands
Reaching stabbingly,
Attempting to distract me from
That clammed pearl
Called Destiny.
Yet, still, seekingly,
I push forward
Blindingly,
Suffocating
Through life’s animosities.
Then as if by Heaven
It was sent,
The oxygen filled water above
Illuminated brightly.
Beckoning me,
Coolly,
So that now
I could see
That my fate
Had unobtrusively
Unraveled before me.
With such clarity,
A verity,
Unmistakenly,
Transitioning all negativity
That was thrust before me
To the Highest of positivities.
For the irony
Of FAITH
In Hell’s dark cave,
Was the heavenly pearl
Of my own victory.
