Creation (Terzanelle)
This self exists in grave fluidity –
when finding nothing inside, ventures out
and looks beyond to seek validity.
Unfortunate, she finds herself without
the thing she needs to valuate a life;
when finding nothing inside, ventures out
to leave some beauty there among the strife –
for only in creation she finds peace,
the thing she needs to valuate a life.
Objectified, the pain can find release
obscured within intense poetic phrase,
for only in creation she finds peace.
So tucked away within, it silent stays
and destined to remain so when it hides
obscured within intense poetic phrase,
and in this way, the future she decides.
This self exists in grave fluidity –
and destined to remain so when it hides
and looks beyond to seek validity.
