Truth

I lost sensation where the madness would swell.
Swirling softly with the petals of time.
In a wind very cold and I could tell
It would strengthen with every breath of mine.
I called for my voice and I summoned these thoughts.
With shaking hands I untangled the knots 
And between my fingers slipped the ribbons of truth

I love your image of "truth", indeed "ribbons of truth" slipping from untangled knots. Brilliant. That's what good poetry does. . . amaze. John

This was very deep and definitely thought provoking and such a well written poem. I like how this one challenged me to read it more than once. Nicely done Alexandra.
