Be Still... Poem by Alice Cuenca

Be Still...

Rating: 5.0


Sky vis-a -vis the horizon
light creeps in...
a new day unravels before these eyes,
the axis of maelstrom...

Peeved- time winnowing unreality_
my limitations...
an entangled-self

Pen unleashing
words that elude me
screaming in silence to the wind
a spongy body, consuming
...the angst...

Can wisdom function in this walled- thought?
...wring the wind! ...
to unform this image of oneself
...to freedom! ...
an unfading color
of the rainbow...

break the walls explore the thought within unleashes the colors of desire embracing rainbow and our freedom would embark beyond horizon

I love your play on words - well, that's what poetry's all about, isn't it? - pen unleashing words that elude me.. can wisdom function in this walled thought.. worlds that cannot exist brought into existence. I manage such thoughts sometimes but they don't come out so smoothly, like these..i love this..a 10 all the way
