It comes and it goes
It shines and it glows
I rock back and forth till it flows
In warm soft blankets, I never felt more worn
Shoulders tense, jaw clenched
I can’t let go &
My mind over what truly matters
Imagination : having such a strong grip on my heart
Running out of breathe before catching the next big break
I stumble and I trip , but I never quiet land right with you
I blink once and you can’t tell me what’s true
I blink twice and it’s like you were never fair
Always two steps ahead but never in alignment
But I somehow got used to this type of confinement
It comes and it goes
When it’s real it grows and it flows
It flows when you breathe life into it
It has the will to live when you want it to exist
And now just be …..
