Catastrophe

A world away
in another day
sighing catastrophe
in lingering epiphany

This light I find
in dark locked mind
a bloody key
smeared with catastrophe

For peace I search
in dark forests I lurch
Where it is, in time
Is all beyond this rhyme

This is my catastrophe
shining for all to see
surrounding these chains
blocking freedom's lanes
sadness gripping joy
life's convoluted ploy

This tragedy infused in me
therein lies catastrophe
