He painted with emotions from a palette of words Found himself in a forest of light green foliage Threw his colours and ink pots high into the air Waited for streams of consciousness to settle Until sentiments found sentences on their own The prism of clouds condensed into sun light A bold font trickled from the pen’s fountain Near a spring of love healing and innocence Above an eagle circled above smudges of tears Imagined that he was part of the poet’s plot A flying aerial daredevil screeched his giggles Undertone of freedom and ambience of spirit Sound of the wilderness and narration of prey A reminder and prayer of letting go of the past Charisma found pages of unequivocal surrender The scribe had been a hunter a few blue moon ago Had once sharpened his quill with a razor of anger Before twilight dawned on meaning and conscience Planting seeds in an undergrowth of a restless mind The bird’s wisdom dispersed the protagonist’s agony Gently eased his kind claws and compassionate beak Meanwhile the writer’s soul dispersed shadows of doubt Fluorescent vibrations flirted around a layer of light As the character witness unshackled anxiety’s trap Relieved from permanence a new aura reflected his mood The theme for the poem is ‘Aura’ 12th January 2020
