tangled words
out the throat
only wheezing
escapes
jammed in the
narrow passage
all letters of the
alphabet
blunt or sharp
like a spear
a pen with
no ink
leap into
the unknown
fear aside
inhale
a tale about
raw diamonds
yearning to be
discovered
…shine
days seem too short
time encapsulated
magic of the forest
where each tree needle
fell to the ground
without a sound
sitting around a bonfire
listening to the crackling
of the wood sap
eyes absorbing flames
cheeks and palms
shades of hot pink
reflecting on the past days
hours and years blend
into one infinitive mass
past present and future
only fictitious concepts
piercing through space
moments ago God’s child
now just a grey nomad
well behaved adult
following written rules
the wisdom hidden
behind thick curtains
innocence dissipated
like a smoke of the fire
only distant smile remains
so fragile and deep
you would almost miss it
in a blink of an eye
valuable lesson
in herstory
connection
with the divine
being open
to release
transformed
the entirety
the life
she knew
and lived
dissipated
what emerged
from the rubble
overwhelmed
her psyche
hospitalization
ensued
silent
meditation
years passed
life returned
to new normal
never the same
awareness
broadened
her experience
unprepared for
the spiraling
into lower realms
of darkness
following highs
the light flickering
unsure unsecure
unresolved
past emotions
giving her
grief in
the present
moment
undergoing
treatment
her sanity
restored
reoccurrence
of such magnitude
the changes
persisted
the synapses
between
neurons
exploded
billion
fragments
scattered
in the brain
the soup
of consciousness
merged
and realigned
forming fractals
her new self
expanded
forever
in eternity
wordpad
the best
friend
finger tips
kiss the keys
ever so gently
pause
awaiting
sense of calm
expectation
brings
fidgeting
questions
arising
inside
time to
write
continuously
letters pouring
seemingly
unrelated
on the screen
silently
suddenly
poem
birthed
alive
the dna
of chaos
unwound
words
leap forward
into space
transformation
happens
unexpectedly
mind
of a poet
unleashed
