Tonight there are no rules,
just write
clearing the debris of the day from my head
and only have to reach as far as fingertips
I close my eyes and no longer feel the keys,
grasping sky
wind slipping through them
Improvise,
there are no rules here
only a blank page
open your veins and let flow your DNA
on pages scrawled as with fountain pen
these are the things I cannot say
these are the words no one hears
that i am broken
imperfections crafting mosaic wholeness
slow down
slow down and listen
can you hear it?
silence breaking like glass
panes that separate
reality from the one I live in my head
clarity in the absence of it
like sun, warm on my face
touching skin, translucent
provoking mind, transcendent
Imago Dei

ReplyDeleteThanks Brian, I blame all the Haikus that I've been writing lately >_<
ReplyDelete...imperfections crafting mosaic wholeness...
ReplyDelete...like that line...enjoyed reading your post.
no rules - only a blank page - love those moments...silence breaking like glass..yes - that's exactly how it can feel
ReplyDeleteI admire that your willingness to let go and write the contents of your mind, which seems to have led to self knowledge and acceptance:
ReplyDelete"that i am broken
imperfections crafting mosaic wholeness"
That part read like you reached a personal breakthrough due to the act of writing. smiles
"no rules, just write" - love those first words that bring freedom :)

ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved the pace of this poem.. it started off calm and soothing..and then quickened the pulse of the reader... LOVE IT!!
I guess that's what happens to a mind that's trying to process too many thoughts at the same time.. (sigh.. been there! :)
You ave expressed that feeling beautifully here!
