I am

Hesitation lingers soundlessly There is nothing in the air Expectation hasn't entered the vacuum The chest rises and falls So soothing, gentle, effortless This is peace or resistance to pain Aware just heavy enough for indentation Disruption of surface tension To evidence existence Captured in the moment By your own wave The shaken rope's transverse curve Who slammed it to the floor doesn't matter When you are the undulations Start this heart Shock me into waking Let me take the first breath which fills my lungs Then let me be I'll take shape from that moment on

Aww thanks Wen :) there are so many reminisces within this as I was writing it. I just tried to let my mind state something other than labels like the prompt said. Thank you for your enthusiasm for me x

Some brilliant and really innovative lines here Dilly, evokes thoughts of being weightless in the fabric of spacetime, as it bends and curves to gravitational waves, of course you have something different in mind! you really are a talented conceptual poet, brilliantly written, and a fav from me, cheers David

Well I can't fail to be thrilled when called talented and innovative. I never quite know how the images occur to me, there is something mesmerising about the waves produced by a shaken rope. Like everything has memory unless it gets interrupted. Knowing how to be possibly was instinctual but needs relearning. Thank you for the fave - appreciated
