We live the realities that we create
Tuesday, 21st September 2021
I am a sucker for self-sabotage. My words, all of my own creation, fool me every time. Layers and layers of veiled truths that blind me--but I guess I am not looking at the signs.
I write for the words overfilling my mind
Heinrich Heine, from “The rose and the lily, the sun and the dove” (tr. by Hal Draper)
It’s quite nice to spend a while dancing through time
suspended in its ticking hours and days
forever a breath away from endless moments

We trace our lives in running circles
always waiting for a new path to show
let me stay,
dancing like fae among flowers
lost to the breeze
and summer sun-showers
