A Dismissal of the Soul

Ah, Inhale life
onto the paper I shall write
Be it dark or be it light 
while the inner fire’s burning;
now the wheels shall be turning

It feels just right
It flows so freely
out of the depths of me 

This ambitious attraction 
to cascade and spill, 
and all the lonely hours it does fill 

For this reclusive writer 
Chooses to live within her mind 
there she shall be for hours at a time

And time passes so promptly and measured
moments have ended 
For that, that is treasured 
  

I will idolize my tranquility 
And bleed out my reflections
In hopes I may be reconnected
