dVerse: Waiting to Blossom

dVerse: Poetics ~ Color Me Spring

Art by Sunita Khedekar

how i yearn for spring

eternally

to find the buds within

ready to open to life

and see color

bright, vivid, happy

feel the winds

the lion of march

the lamb of april

the warm sun

beaming down 

soaked up by face & body

FELT

for the first time

outside of hiding

adults directly from the womb

of amnesia

buds in waiting

for their time

to fully blossom

always on the edge of sanity
one step from free fall
into relapse
or on the brink of happiness
longing to be sure-footed

Writing to the Art of Catrin Welz-Stein

 

 

Where The Starlight Begins by Catrin Welz-Stein 

high above this orbit
far from earthbound danger
i roam the safety of the stars
held within the moon's glow

high above this earth
my world when being here
was too much for my mind to bear
where time was nonexistent
and pain relegated to
a me of a distant plane

now one of this earth  
healed beyond the pain ~
still wishing to be among the stars
walking the constellations
hiding within the peaceful unknown

Pablo Picasso's "The Seated Man"

the seated lone man
lures me to come closer
puppet-like i move

Art by Judith Clay



floating through life
oblivious
going where my balloon
leads
never believing it might
POP!
one day
sending me crashing
down
into reality unknown
dazed
never having known
free will
until the moment of the
CRASH
i have a new balloon now
freedom
guiding me through
love
life
peace
