A draft . . .

Consumed . . .



Today is a new day to create and my thoughts still play with my heart.Yesterday was the day that I tried to say yes to the future, to the future that I ‘ve built the day before yesterday and the years pass by . . .

unraveled thoughts , imprisoned feelings, dreams that desperately grasp the moment and breath in the essence of my soul like carnivorous birds my own fantasy creations eat me up from inside and I open the window, gasping for air while the clouds rejoice in motion and the breeze caresses my skin but I still search in vain and feel how my burning skin screams

. . . and I keep searching inside the empty horizon for that something that will bring me back,  but my dreams have stopped speaking to me and I hide inside my deafening silence their hope. I want to come back to life but I don’t know how, I need to come back to the cornerstone of my existence and I think and think; over and over again

I don’t even pay attention to the brave struggle of the flickering candle light with the wind and the curtains keep dancing while the flame slowly dies out . . .I am left alone I can’t listen to myself anymore and I am left alone with my words . . .

Just instructions . . . that is what my words have become . . . instructions . . .

Once upon a time a climbed to the top of a tree, tried to reach the sky, I think that I did touch the sky but I don’t remember how . . .

I love the long string of words and images you bring me through. The words themselves are almost suffocating, conveying the meaning of the poem perfectly.

Take a walk in the night. Helps me when thoughts and words become suffocating.

Hugs, S.W.

Me thinks you need a brain break. :) then it's easy to touch the sky.

It was a wonderous ride with you through these lines.
A trip through an open door to your mind and heart and even your soul, the deepest part of you, as you ponder and wonder through a wedge of your life's pie chart. The imagery of the fearful times and the lonely times and the seeking times, brought me along in such a personal way I almost thought I was in your skin.

..and still I belive that deep inside you know how to touch the sky and that maybe today there are to many clouds between the sky and you and therefor you do not know how close it actually is ... loved the flow and the meaning your words gave me

best wishes
