The Shot.....

And The World Tilts

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

You are chaos

Clinging to meaning like it owes you something

Creating love, of course

The invention of something stunning

Never seen before glitter

Just over the next horizon

Something that truly matters

On the verge of treason

You can almost taste it, touch it, own it

Shining, sparkling in the distance

Calling to you, drawing you closer to the edge

To the path of least resistance

Into the void where nothing is celebrated

The cusp of greatness

Where empathy is castrated

And consequence is weightless

Go on then......JUMP

    Deep, well composed, and very enjoyable.

    Two very powerful and attention grabbing lines that enhance this piece so well: - 'On the verge of treason' - 'Where empathy is castrated' hard hitting and a snapshot of how many people are feeling
