Journey to the center of it

The beast it has controlled
and tolled
the bridge for too long

It sucked my life blood
like a black hole
I struggled
to stay afloat, against its pull

Turning my intentions
sour
like so much Mother's milk

Centered:
the concept embodies a
sense of getting the balance right

But in the center, lies the unknown
the controller,
the master-blaster

The velocity and suction
is enough to flatten the
strongest foundations

To conquer it, to unearth and understand it
is to feel the heat of the center of the earth
or the brightness of
100 times that of the Sun

So intrigued by this center-force,
so necessary to touch its sanctity
and so scared
to know

I journey to the center of it
