The Sword of Damocles

The temptation of power

allowed a possibility of

total annihilation

that released Satan from his dark prison —

the abomination that causes desolation.

The slenderest of threads

holds life —

too many men

with their hands on the sword.

It is suffering that shoots streams of creativity out of my heart, and the brokenness of life that explodes my heart into its soul.
