The Bending

I wrote a simple line out for myself to read again for myself anytime I might need to remember who I've been. To discover oneself again is another form of self-conciousness. But this would all depend on the shapes of the flickering fire-lit shadows moving about the room, that will surely change again and again- Conforming and expanding, going out and returning with the stroke of a match. To show me a song for myself, or dance and spin into the colors of a painting I'd once created, that in the dance of shadow and light bends.
