we found strength

in the darkest corners of the world

where the light meets

the wind and all time is zeroed.

the earth where colors appear black

and white and nature is frozen

the seconds tick by.

the stillness charged our hollow bodies;

our insides smeared and slathered on the

floor like butter on burnt toast.

all crevices full of emotion

we. stand. as. one.

there is no you or i

where reality is a nothing.

suspense binds our souls

and we drift:

we are slow

we are sagging

we are everything

we will soon cease to be anything

where reality is a nothing.

sounds and shapes slip away

a blank wall shields us all

we feel empty.

we are overflowing.

they are disappearing.

you are disappearing.

i am disappearing.

because in the end

there is nothing

when

reality

is

everything

I Feel I'm bout to burst

constantly looking through my purse

Gathering my breath n thoughts

Forced to Move to my feet

The next step surely put me on the street

Round and round I went

Chasing myself up a hill way too steep

for the thought of losing myself was deep.

I' Said I'd never return

the dread was painful, I felt dead.

The pain left me raw shaken, fragile, and alone.

Time HEALS the wounds, I'm breathing through the mess

The biggest challenges are none but a test.

As I Find stillness within my horses eyes

My authentic self finally arrives

And my oh my

What a pleasant surprise-
