Mind’s coliseum

The eternal fight 

between good and evil 

Twilight time.

Impenetrable blackness.

The conflict unseen 

formula versus antidote 

the grip of reality, 

released

descending 

gently 

but often not.

The light of hope at odds with the shadow of despair.

Brightness is the disinfectant generating time, 

memory 

and breath

for another battle 

in this never ending cycle.
