Roots

Roots

I don’t really know why it happens,

Or why it works so fluidly.

The words,

slick with the swell of feeling,

naturally leak from between my eyes.

Slowly,

they meander their way to the dry, flat parchment …

Below.

Cozy and wrapped up tight,

the tiny letters gather,

resonating in tidy little groupings.

A tendril, here,

curling…

A filament, there….

freely afloat.

All… ever-flowing and reaching a fever pitch,

They spin out,

invisibly from the spiked sphere of commonplace.

A stretch, a reach…

a mad, cluttering rush to be a part of something…

something out there.

Somehow,

gently and carefully

they escape.

Solely,

simply to be heard.

OMG you just made me cry, lol. You TOTALLY got it!! I dunno, I was thinking about what you and D said on FB and they words...well, they just came! I'll share this tomorrow for the challenge. :) I haven't written in almost 2 years. I felt like you do when something really fantastical happens. Thank YOU for being support, inspiration and friend. :)

I love how your words flow with a life... a warmth... growing like gardens in the spring.. everything thriving.. You remind me that even in the darkest,coldest winter the roots hidden beneath are wild in their growth... There is magic in your metaphors...
