Awakening
Cascading time
Crashing over the edge of oblivion

I swear
Two weeks ago
I was just turning eighteen

Last night
I was almost
Twenty five

This morning
Is edging close
To thirty years old

Awakening
Not to a new day
But to a decade long gone
I dreamed I was painting with a dancers feet again.
I woke and there was hurt, which is love, which means life and God and good... So, hurt can't be all too bad I guess.

jackie
ask
the countless whispers
asking for me
but i don't want to leave
Restless times
The mind
Wearing out thin
Being truthful to self
Happy and sad
Two states
Trying to embrace
Every day
Not the same
Uncertainty
And impermanence of the winds
Withstanding the storm
The silence within
Claims the calm
Scent of the flowers
Crisp words, and sepia pages
Vivid memories
