The Approach
Written in 2008 for a Creative Writing class.
The Approach
Something is approaching
I can feel its ominous burden deep within my soul
The weight growing heavier with every gasp
Like a lead ball chained across my chest
It is too late to run
The world darkens before my eyes
What once promised light no longer escapes his shadow
The winds change bringing his cold breath upon my neck
The residue of some forgotten sin lingering in the air
I can hear him creeping ever closer
The thick silence droning in my ears
The sands of time crease to exist
As his looming approach becomes inevitable
He brings neither the end nor the beginning
But it is an end that rides in his wake
It is too late to run
The storm is coming
