I looked into the darkness
of an empty room
and saw a vision

of a thousand hungry beasts
breaking apart
and falling to the floor.

I felt a strange sensation
wrap around me
and felt it take

the whisper of my soul
from the place
it had always been

to a freedom
it has never known.
I wondered at my life

as it passed in clouded specks
and thought how what was gone
would never come again.
