I have taken a walk today.
I will take you on the walk I took today.
I stand in the darkness with only
A faint white light rising from an
Undeterminable place far off in space.
Before I have a chance to wonder where I am,
Streaks of light like the Northern Lights are
Splayed across the darkness.
Without thinking, I know what they are.
The deep blue rising as falling ribbon is for
All the times everyone has told me I am not good enough.
The tightly coiled coarse red rope is boiling anger from
Holding in my frustration and sorrow year after year.
The pale yellow creamy soft silk is whispering to me
Every person who has loved me, everyone I've ever loved.
The charcoal grey twisting pole is showing
Every mistake I've made, and the
Pulsating green flames encirling it is telling me that they
Shall all be erased in the end.
The light blue and pink lines crisscrossing every which way are
Representing my love of paper and pen.
Looking down for a moment,
I realise that I am floating.
Floating amidst my colors.
And I am at home with them,
These warm welcoming colors reflecting on my tanned skin.
I am at home.
I have taken you on a walk today,
I have taken you on a walk through my conscious.
