the stills
summon the stills
listen to your silent self
shed your outer veil
become the absence
untie the knots in your meandering mind
colour the light with strokes of wisdom
remnants flow through your fingers
simply unravelling your gift of resistance
awareness hangs behind your thoughts
raging fires burn and heal
let your story nourish you
remix your shattered heart
choices voices leave you alone
hours freeze in your echoes
poised words shred themselves
drifting as you grasp the waves
re arrange your dusty soul
rayless pathless crackled crash
old identities are aflare
revealing who you really are
About this poem
this is about peeling my layers facing the shadows to find my light revealing myself unmasked !!!
