Wizard's stories! (But mostly poems)

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Life

Spoiler

Life is many things

Once I thought it all roses and brilliant sunshine

Until the storms came

And the tides that followed

Sought to drown me

And won

 

Tumbling and turning, all direction gone

Water everywhere, burning nostrils

Pressure crushing, forcing past reluctant lips

Mind and heart, both dimming, finally ready

Firmly drowning

 

Until a hand, surrounded by light and many others reached out

And lifted up, to barely rest above the water

Where the waves broke upon our little group

Time and time again, each wave threatening to pull someone under

Never letting any of us rest, always worried

Always

 

A light pierced through the heavens, and at times it seemed to rest upon us

Until we drifted away, by laxness or by the ferocity of the storm

The peace had lasted only moments, and the darkness for eternity
