A Sea in which to Float (Sunday Scribblings)

This poem is much less about disconnection than it is about reconnection; attaching the lines because there is no way to be set apart from the whole of existence.


I flap my wings
Out of hand
Is the scrape of my skyline


This bird knows no limit
Its tail is the iceberg
Crystallized under pressure

I sink and rise
All at once

I am the inflow
Resounding in the chamber
Of my lung-heart

So close your eyes
And take a good look at all

A lovely piece of poetry. The music set the mood. You have an artistic talent. You relaxed my soul. You made me think. I enjoyed the time I spent with you.
