Liquid Silk Poem by K J

To the soul within me...

Raindrops fall,
Cold as Steel,
I shiver as they caress my flesh,
Feeling like liquid silk,
Cotton-candied clouds,
Stained with greys and blacks,
Shaping forms of majestic felines,
Eagerly stretching wispy claws towards me,
Trying hard to catch me,
Wanting to warn me,
As i gingerly skip through puddles upon a steep cliff,
So naive i am,
To think that nothing will befall me,
as i play upon the slopes of life and death,
i lose my footing and begin my painful descent,
Quickly picking up speed,
As jagged rocks pierce through me,
I'm stopped abruptly,
Cracking my skull open on a large white stone,
My breathing is shallow,
As thunder roars and lightning strikes,
My guardians weep for me,
I glance up at the heavens one last time,
Before slipping into eternal sleep,
Dreaming of running free upon plush green slopes,
Where color and light roam...
