| the Presence a Void Surrounds my soul- an Echo trapped within itself. my bell jar trembles, my teeth chatter, my heart beats (still)- an Unrelenting reminder of the Distance in between. i wince- an attepmt at shrinking to NonExistence- within my Reverberation my Embrace is not enough to stop my teeth from their bone-like chattering, my heart from beating her pseudo-beats Alone. an Echo trapped within itself- the Force empowering my bell jar to shift, enducing my Lathargic dance toward the Precipice that is our severed Connection- DisAssociation. my embrace is not enough. no, my embrace is not enough to bring end forth to this Trembling or even to UnBirth me- a cry for Escape or Passion. i caught the sun smiling at me today i caught the sun smiling at me today. she caught me by surprise. i felt the warmth of the Glow within me & i returned her greeting with my smile. my eyes wandered around the euphoric existence of nature today & i saw my shadow for the first time we embraced one another & Began to cry. i felt the breeze today. her gentle touch caressing me in my entirety. i became aware of the breeze blowing within me & it was then i Knew of my Beauty. i looked myself in the eyes today without the distraction of a mirror. i Saw myself for the first time. i Did Not turn away & it is Now that i am Alive. |
