Inside EyelidsA Poem by belleI drove to work last week without defrosting my windshield. The ice crystals were formed in a splendid pattern preventing me from viewing the so called dangerous outside world. I took my contacts out driving home from school Thursday night. The streetlights and headlights were blurred into circle upon endless circle forming a contrast to the night. I didn't turn my windshield wipers on today driving home on the parkway. Each bead of rain hit the glass forming a sliding sheet that never ended. I began each venture in a bit of panic, then realized there is nothing to be fearful of. The only thing I needed to be afraid of was my own poor judgment and self doubt. This is when I let go of the wheel and let spontaneity grab it at ten and two. © 2008 belle |
