Cautionary Tales

I never asked to see them 

nor do I rebuke

I accept the gifts that I’ve been given 

to live and dream through visions

they’re not easy to read

nor do they come for free

they come with the cost of morbid and gory scenes 

a scare to wake me from my sleep 

as a way for me to remember the lesson that begs to be seen 

with no possibility to claim ignorance

I’m blessed with a knowing 

where time holds no relevance 

I’ve already seen whats coming 

and when it arrives i’ll smile and say

“finally, here you are, you’ve come a long way”

i’ll greet it with a kiss despite the bite

because regardless of the message

its still an insight
