As Images Pause
Framed moments blink... a night of review
as snapshots glide on this mindscape
like tissue leaves bathed in reveries
before slumber’s pause.
Every motion, every image bursts
into tints of different life- stages.
Embers within me flash: the childhood
and adult shades encircling a moment; my essence
so ripe for more sequels yet to be born.
How voices of light enter the marrow
and wake to recite the stories
from girlhood fairs, early parental death,
aborted friendships to mature love’s flame: I inhale
dusky breath when musings fall
like twigs on the chest of languid memoirs.
Yet, the stars' follow my shadow,
healing brambles of thought...
a nightfall refreshed.
