Pillar of Cloud and Fire

Only few could hear me this round As if I had no ideas of my own To leave me secure upon safe ground. As if I could be summed up in a few words, Like to those who thought they knew me, As if I said too little, too faintly Only to find myself behind all the words never said. As if I said too much, too fast Only to leave behind a weight of confusion This round so very few could hear what I was trying to say, As if some were simply not listening.

The beginning of this poem grabbed me up, and I was held hostage in delight and dazzled by the ending, Brooke. DAZZLED.
