Fire Walk with Me: Manifesting with the Aries New Moon — The Hoodwitch

A silence without words no rhyme or verse The mesmerizing power of the voice through lyric and lullaby The feeling that stings in the stomach White paper and black ink are engulfed by the flames Thoughts, sorrow and joy while, hands resting calmly in the lap The good dreams are shattered My soul is crumbling in grief Like a restless and hungry animal isolated, unbalanced and lost Influenced by the words, the weeping lump begins to grow in the throat The eyes are red and swollen ... a fiery blow But I know ... someday everything will start over again Those who remain on stage, are left in a meditative state Away from the light of the morning and rainbow color spectrum The brain never stops being thirsty ... with wonder and surprise Give us some nourishment ... for dreams and the imagination Room for humor - room for seriousness ... I love poetry 20/01/2020 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved If there was no Poetry Sponsored by: Silent One 1st place in the contest Poem Of The Day : 22/01/2020

Great poem sunshine…I gave up hunting for poetry and can`t imagine a world without it…Plus paper and pencil is cheaper than bullets.
