Phoenix

I have been away for a while, I know. I was so busy charging headlong towards the “goals” of School and employment that I failed to perk up my ears and hear the music of the universe, open my eyes and watch the poetry dance.

I ache

The days chaos

Waning

It’s mark left

By the tension

Between my shoulders

The times ahead

Bear no stillness

Promising similar fury

but I smile

and will always grin

When the downpour comes

I will not sink

but swim
