A Walking Dissonance
Simple am I
Jovial am I
Peaceful am I
Liberated I feel beneath
the Sun’s radiating arms,
But multidimensional am I
Introverted and barricaded
am I
Tormented and bothered am
I...
Confused by all the wind
blowing, both humid and frigid,
By the multiple waves
resting calmly and swaying me violently
Recklessly throwing me
across cerebral matter I, every so often, fail to recognize
Is it mine or has it been
replaced by the creatures plotting against my rise?
They forcefully shackle me
down as I attempt to break free
They silence me, completely
rob me of my voice
When all I want is to sing
a symphony so sublime, it halts the passage of time,
So breathtaking, it forces
that downpour into suspension,
So elaborate in its form,
it somehow restores the effortlessness of a tranquil summer’s day
Carefree will I then be
At ease will I then be,
Entirely composed for what
is to come
Ready to do it all over
again...
