This Is You
This is you
April 21, 2014 at 8:42pm
On a moonless night black as the bottom of a deep water well
In your head you rearrange star constellations to suit your desires
Look up, look down to that which is yet to be and that which has passed before
Throw it into that infinite void of empty space
Where you try to imagine all possibility
Pluck the unwanted from your mind’s eye
So that it’s only your vision to remain in narrow focus
Born and strengthened by an enveloping darkness
You know your light
As a firestorm rises from your belly
And you open your mouth to scream
But there’s no sound at all, only a streaming light from your gut
That illuminates a small segment of indigo sky
And you know it’s you that must prevail.
