The wind stood still
yet I swayed
The rains from the heavens
held restrained
yet I felt the beating of drops
The sun had set
yet I was blinded with light
In my room I paced
holding my head in my hands
In the streets I hurried through
clutching my coat pockets
On the floor I felt the tiled cold
My ears rung with singing voices
yet no music played
watching the leaves flutter
I reached to touch one
one frail leaflet
I snapped my hands around one
a dry and vamped body
and I watched it crumble
to mosaic pieces
I lifted them to my mouth
and breathed life into them
setting them into motion again
I felt the heat and snow
with no seasonal changes
I watched the grass grow long
tangling and whipping each other
with long green shoots
The ground beneath me does move and shift
yet I am Rock
unmoving
impenitrable
abyssmal
In opening my gentil eyes
I looked up above
and reached with my hands
in a yearning grasp to the sky
and my feet started to turn me
around and around
The clouds now spun with me
and my laughter reached my ears
full, long and unburdened
my face streaked with tears
and I knew
I felt
Joy
Reason for writing:
I wrote this because we are all bombared by emotions and they have a tendency to collide with each other and sometimes, just sometimes we don't know if we are coming or going
