Inside the Outside

Inside the Outside
I wipe the sweat from my brow and the blood from my mouth.

I slide from off the back of the horse, praising for it strength.

Shining Star makes sure we are all still alive.

Pheonix angrily slides from their own horse and walks with a purpose.

The target, aimed for as true as the bow of a goddess.

None can mistake the gait towards Strong Brew, and we can all sense the tension building

I get busy setting up a temporary camp to wait out the fireworks.

Psychopomp makes sure our new guest goes nowhere, does nothing, and says nothing unless we say.

The horses trot around being chased by Care until they are well and truly worn out even after the fight.

The resting spot finishes and I lay down, watching the clouds.

A fluffy dog passes before my eyes and the shouting reaches it's highest peaks.

I can't help but be reminded of glass making. The sand and heat somehow combining to make clarity.

A battle of wills continues, but now is refocused.

A cotton colored sword passes above as venom is spewed at apathy.

Round and round the cycle we go, like a whirlpool we cannot escape from.

Joy, Frustration, Anger, Sadness, and then right back up to the top like normal.

Even as people pass through, they get caught in the undertow.

A soft white dragon floats softly in the sky above.
