i'm climbing

abhpe06d05://

i fell . what happened?
hit my head . confused
stumbled . darkness
cold earth . damp roots
inner deep place
gasping for air
grasping for balance
fasting for friendship
unlasting sailing
looked up . light
howling . hungry

sat down
gave in
slept
awoke
thought
understanding
decision
action

crawling out hole
clawing in clay
now are climbing
hands over foot
out then upright
on to striding

patient searching
senses opened
further until
rot spotted
no pause
only a
rush inward
stone face
fully engaged
happily resolved

to cut down
all fears
to fell
all obstacles
to fend
all friends
to love
all enemies

by chance comes answers
to questions of consequence
as in 'paradox awaits'
yet one wish is certain

i am coming for you

chanting
death to all hatred
death to predation
death to all who seek destruction

best to give up now
while you still can
before your mind
becomes silenced

forever
