She walks around under water
But her chests rises and falls,
Rises and falls.
And the trees are standing tall
In her under water world,
The birds fly high.
And the people walk with their heads hanging heavy
But their chests rise and fall
Rise and fall;
And no one knows whether they are awake or dreaming at all.
Read a poem.
Read it again
And again.
Leave it be
And return.
Keep reading,
Immersing yourself in each verse.
Pondering.
A sequence of thoughts pulling
You into
A
Myriad of emotions.
Seeing something more.
Feeling something more.
Every time you come back to the words
They seem to have grown
In depth and width.
Unending rhythms creating a
Cosmic beat within your heart
And mind.
Expanding creation,
Human metamorphosis.
Wake up.
Your lips
So far away.
Biding time.
I find myself
Imagining the day away
While awake.
I do not recognize
This new ache for more.
The fantasy;
This ecstasy
That fills me
Remains
Drunk on dreams
Of reality.
My heart fervent;
An accelerated tempo inside.
I am left wanting.
Spring is springing once more.
Tender buds beginning to peak,
Unfold.
New life
Bursting through damp soil;
Up beyond last falls sacrificial
Leaves released by trees.
Spring.
Awakened by the
Love of the sun.
Shoots of green growing new among trees
Joyously joining
Wise old branches of time.
And again and again it ends and begins
As we come and go.
A natural knowing among earth and sky,
Moon and sun.
Each taking their turn.
Their ways unspoken
In the
Natural knowing.
She thought.
She did not think.
She loved.
She believed she loved.
She thought she was awake.
She was only dreaming
So
Here she lies staring
At the ceiling.
And
Sleep evades her
This darkest night
As so many nights before.
Once again she tosses and turns,
Unpleasant thoughts raging inside her brain.
More often than not this bed is no friend.
Standing in the house.
Trying to hold the walls up while the shadows die.
Windows cracking,
Shattering to pieces
As the
Elephant
Is let loose
Wrecking havoc.
Some are still sleeping,
Or pretending too
In scattered spaces.
They sleep half awake
Hoping and praying that in the morning
The sun will be showing
And all will be put back in its place.
Instead they will find a
Big gaping hole filled with
Broken memories and tear stained letters,
Fragments of half truths
And lies.
Just another
Elephant in
Disguise.
I was falling
From the stars
When
You caught me in
Your heart.
You saved me from myself.
And there,
I found myself.
I am awake.
I am alive.
No longer sleeping with the beasts on the inside.
