Sideways Tilting People~

It's those moments out of the ordinary days

you know, the ones that are so beautiful they hurt something wicked

or so painful they have no choice but to be beautiful

that make some of us sideways tilting people stick around another day

another way

over

under

laughing til we cry

crying til we fall down laughing

our minds

charcoal rubbings against the night sky

where we dip

and arch

and clap our hands

to the dancing bear

made of particulates

while our body kicks

in free fall

under a warm quilt

which is our weeping comfort

and our laughing trap

You press your days into the most grand pages of art. No matter how mundane, you find the beauty. No matter how tragic, you find a little magic inside. Gorgeous piece of you.

I love how you hold up the gem of a moment , and let the light refract and reflect and in its mesmerizing flicker ~ connect

ooooo me likes! love the idea of sideways tilting people - the lines - the way to overcome and fight - for those few minutes a day which truly make the day - for who ever remembers the white noise! nice!

Well, Selene, If I had to sit up til past midnight to read the first four *lines* of this poem, I count my day more than complete. These are the words I'll carry to my sleep and they'll see me through another day.
