Searching

Yearning

Spinning

Burning

An angel gives flight

In the blood red light

Tears streaming

A torrent of life

While grief tears

A hole in her soul..

Silks snap & they fly

As she danced by

No cares in the world

If truth be told

Innocence was loved

- the way she moved -

Carefree and lightly

Lifted nightly

Into the haze of

Quickly forgotten dreams.

Loss that rends a hole in my soul

Throbs in my head

Rings in my ears

And tightens my chest.

A sleepwalker, feeling nothing in the day-to-day,

While curled in the night’s darkness

My body wracked with undurable pain.

Joyful memories fading in the mists of time.

I spy a fly swaying softly while ensnared on a silken strand.

She knows the fight is futile, so she sits.

Pondering the tick, tick, tick of the grandfather clock

That keeps pace with the memories of life’s vignettes

Scrolling past her mind’s eye while the coming darkness

Bides its time, watching, waiting.

And passion that warmed the night

She spun that flame, fast and bright.

Flashing in that liminal space

Then she was gone, without a trace.

Alone in the darkness

My passion burns bright.

Alone in my stillness

I light up the night.

The soft thrum of my heart

Assures me, I’m alive

With its calming presence

Fighting the grief

That wants, wants, wants

To tear me apart.

Self doubt wracks us all.

Wreathed in the flames of uncertainty,

Each step has consequence.

It can be a step into the sear of pain,

Or sublime beauty.

You will never burn so bright.

Which leads her to twirl

‘Nother violent night.

Built up from the back of his tongue

As he battled with his friend,

Pain.

Did you miss me?

Did you even notice?

It’s been a while.

Some time to focus.

Work piled up…

People waiting.

No time for fun,

Or creating.

Emotional batteries drained

And frustrations built.

But I kept my eyes forward

Forced my feet to move.

The slog and the spills,

- the pressure -

Had their effect.

Took their piece.

But I’m back,

Ready for another go.

Swimming through the trees

When you don’t think about it.

Much like singing without breath

Or dancing on the backside of the moon.

The whimsy transports you

When life has no meaning at all

And when it means everything.

Wreaking mischief, chaos and havoc

In all its guises.

Mischief of the mind,

Clusters of offspring or rogue ravagers

They cared for nought

But tangling the yarn of life

And love…

Shorn of hubris by that disdainful look,
