In the Belly of the Beast

when the clock is melting

and the hourglass is no longer full

when thought appear that we thought we retired

and you ask yourself the moral of the story

how do you want to be remembered

waiting for the nothingness

for breath to turn stale

for the pallor to be pale

this leads us to the listening

remember and validating 

so climb out of belly of the beast with metaphors

sound, art and words

grounding in your own truth

listen to guided imagery to fill the time with cognitive curiousity 

give voice and song to persistent memories
