Free Visions

Free Visions

A Poem by Charlène Boutin
"

When I close my eyes, this is what I see.

"

Darkness.

Darkness seeps through the pores of my mind, invading the room that is the inside of my head. There I see the flow of time, endless time, meaningless time.

Light flows inside and stains the endless veil of black that covers the walls of my mind like tapestry; a moth, wings of pure light and serenity, flaps its wings freely and guards my visions.

A flash of blue and violet appears and disappears, representing my sanity.

Lines of white line run across the field of sight I have in my head- they surround me like a cucoon, keeping me safe from the dangers of the darkness invading my thoughts.

A snake of fear slithers, its yellow eyes glowing with rage as it rampages through my mind- it eats the light and lets in more stains of the dark.

But yet another gust of light pours in through an entrance that was forged by hope.

I can't help it- this is what I visualize.
This is the reason my classmates say I'm a 'crazy emo freak'.

Well, I say you're a brilliant, rising star of deep words and feeling! This is exceptional, and your writing grows deeper and more meaningful with everything I read. Here you balance the darkness with the light of hope, the fear with the guardians of hope... Your words, your thoughts, your mind are such a richly painted canvass... Please don't ever stop writing!

There's more to this world than we see. Artists are gifted with the vision of this world, and can bring forward these visions to others. The world I see goes beyond my eyes, beyond my own life. I hop.. more..
