Dark

"How is a poet created? After much pondering I'd say it's the solid gold solder fix following breakage. Creating something beautiful from the fixes and workarounds" Quote by poet It's dark and stormy on occasion Sometimes with no rhyme or reason Then the sun appears again And I forget the hurt and pain It's hard if old memories are dark The past of course does leave it's mark Right now I'm fine, nothing ails But the best intention fails I'm wrapped up, contained, lost a sec Appearing briefly like a wreck There's nothing wrong, just a trigger Plenty of problems I know are bigger I'm a stormy sea but I ride it out It doesn't matter what it's all about My feet are planted on the ground Even if my mood loops de loops around Dark maybe, but not without light Poetically my drifts can excite Abstract and surreal exploration Not at all linked to lunation

Thanks Paige, it's important to explore you can be a deep thinker affected by environmental factors but still mostly roll with it x
