Noble Earth


Eyes uncover, revealed to a roughly sketched world;
Not colorless, but shades of every light wavelength smeared like a confused prism.
Heavy, heavy, your arms, and weighted your chest with a beautiful pain that only you and the rest of existence knows; a bittersweet everyone tastes, and some even crave, until it touches their lips and its potency is far too strong. Steady now your wavering knees and fickle courage. Weak and brave you are to ask for it again; your exposure proves both honesty and folly as your uneasy feet inch stoutly before you. If these steps never reverse, bless the ground ahead and continue on; but if they do, bless it anyways and run again to this place, where you may simply be and wait in expectation of nobler earth to tread.
