Kaleidoscope

Sloshing in the dark,
visions in my head
hearing ghosts from the past
echoing what they said

Wandering through the maze
groping through the haze
grasping for a branch
longing for the day....

Feet splashing in the stream
diving for the edge
sliding neath the bank
fire blasting from a hedge

Kaleidoscope of red
beneath the surface green
leeches sucking life
an eerie underwater scream

Hand reaching towards the stars
thrusting claw like through the skim
weightless in oblivion
crying " Brother here I am "

" Brother here I am ",

Again.......
