Oh how we love to cling to our opinions for dear life.
this is not living, being immobile and stunted,
ever permanent in staunchly stated projectiles.
Mighty,
Yet fearful of love,
Afraid to flow.
Afraid that all that defined you really is not you.
We are more;
Boundless.
Yes
Miracles happen every moment.
People change.
Or
They don’t.
Always carry hope.
And I try not to hold my breath and sit
Immobile;
Stationary and stuck.
Keep living and loving.
Move out of limbo and the waiting.
Basking in the radiance of life
Moment by moment.
I am blooming regardless the
Light,
The soil,
The circumstance.
Heart over matter.
Soul sight
Flowing.
I was so
Mesmerized by the beautiful
Web you created,
The false delicacy
Bringing me in closer.
(I failed to notice you were a spider)
The way mornings birthlight sparkled like fine crystals on the dew,
The way
Your crafty design shown like a rainbow,
Kaleidoscopic.
(I knew you were a spider)
A comforting touch and hypnotic gaze.
A weaver so gifted and true to your desires.
I did not realize I had become immobile
And transfixed.
(I forgot you were a spider)
She will try not to run.
She will try not to hide.
She will try not to turn away.
She will look you in the eye.
She will listen to you speak
Of her as if she is pretty
While voices scream otherwise in her head.
She will stay when you smile at her tenderly,
Every cell in her body desiring nothing more
Than to vanish.
Her heartbeat has been rendered immobile.
Artifacts from days gone by holding every
Ventricle hostage.
She is trying to be brave.
If you knew
How the earth shook beneath her feet
When she moved,
How the thunder echoed in her ears
When she tried to speak
You would
Realize just how courageous
She is.
