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...

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
