What the soul offers; what life teaches |
I have written this for this contest by River McKenna. This is for the Round 5 Prompt which is "Contentment"
"At Waves, Spindles, Foamy Fibers Kaleidoscope memoirs sprung on sand; Hope wanders in nomadic play of light Earth is enriched in its nude state. Am I nude? Naked sprung from tempest's belly? Oh I reckon the newborn within knows Knows how to undress and be only in belly's warmth. Why so? Why so - deepening in the foams I swallow breaths in the breathe. Life knows no one and no one knows her He is too conservative: He is too free She is too fixed: She is so continuous I hate her, I love her, I kill her only to adore her; She is too out of orbit though in.

They are myself though: I know them at times, they seem timid After sunset they call with flutes and the moon warms me in her firelight..." |
