You have to think you’re someone before you can lose yourself.

“And there are always those who will watch Alexandria burn. There always have been. There always will be. So there are always guardians.”

The Starless Sea

Seems relevant.

A cold wind blows
flowers sleep
waiting for spring to arrive

Frozen river
Not so frozen
How deep do you go?

Frozen river
Not so frozen
Where do your waters flow?

Frozen river
Not so frozen
How many have died to know?

The light
drops and
drops
until it leaves,

leaves its
reflection
on the clouds and
the moon

The door of yourself
is the hardest to pass through

but beyond is
the view to everything

…
#poem #poetry #micropoetry #poetrycommunity

In the shipwreck moments
of your life
of your heart
offer daffodils

because why not?

#poem #poetry #micropoetry #poetrycommunity

Knock, knock on the door of your self

Who’s there?

The sound of the universe
is the sound of us
listening to it.

#poem #poetry #micropoetry #poetrycommunity

Build a bridge to yourself
walls only keep us apart

Here, take my hand
it’s yours, too,

this is how to start

…
#poem #poetry #micropoetry #poetrycommunity

Distant gate
with no walls
no doors

walk through
walk around

the way is open

…
#poem #poetry #micropoetry #poetrycommunity

Now I will tell you one
of the secrets of the universe

unfolding a tablecloth,
opening a present

the world becomes
how we think about it.
