Death sweeps eternally through empty souls
watching the BREAK of simple hearts
counting in his—breath
in, and out. In, and—
Leaving the world of tangible feelings
Replaced with synthetic time
Fiberglass clouds scrap across the sky
Over saturating this new reality
In a dead color palette version of night
Soaking through transparent souls
That struggle in heaven’s light
Only to fathom its tolls
And stars slip into subfusc
While friction loses its hold
mountains raised from broken nails
Breathing banishment of hammer falls
While scripture screams surrender
The cross becomes a kiss trailing into time.
In, and out.
The clock's face wiped blank,
only its hands still show, pointing forever
to somewhere we can't see.
The tick-tock of nothing echoes the only sound I can still make.
In, and out.

ok so this is where it ended up...an amalgamation of brilliance...I read the word colliding I saw it more as melting into one.....three colors join to make a new one....here green, blue and red......fantastic...look forward to more...
Second time today i breathed in unison with the words........

Very nice collab write! I like the verbiage, metaphor and imagery in this. It's difficult choosing favorite lines, because they mesh so well. Thank you for sharing this.

Neat to work with others in writing poems on this site. Some interesting verbiage used in these lines too.
