Test My Sacred Death
October 5, 2019
The day fell away under my feet
Leaving me turning
In hopeless oblivion
Looking in vain for footfalls
Don’t test the limits of endlessness
Don’t trust the mountains you call home
Tomorrow I am supposed to die
What if tomorrow never comes
What if endings reverse until morning
Steal me away
Chased by fate to boundary
Hidden in that mountain crevice
Breaths hoarded in my throat
Tomorrow will be a new day
Sun will rise, stars will fall
Call my name,
But I won't answer

Wow.This poem gives me feels.
"Test My Sacred Death" is a testament to change, the only constant. It is a message of mortality and the idea that we should make the most of the moments we are given.
