This life happens.
observing like an alien
with dispassionate detatchment
the events of my life
the changing cycles I choose
but I really only listen to the signs.
When to take action...
I have learned forcing gives me a headspace that resembles cottage cheese
and you can't really force, just push something a little....
and see the momentum
and watch in wonder
as the movement takes you under
and above and all around
and the sound of a familiar voice leaves you little choice
but to embrace the logic
because there are no winners
there are only players
and logic tells you that sometimes the underdog wins
logic tells me
there are too many layers
to make anything like sense
icing clad layers. cherry coated.
Life happens, even if you blink.. but nothing really sneaks up and in
you see it coming but can see the signs
as logic talking you down from a ledge
even if you think it is fantasy
you can't delude reality
you can't fly in life, wings chapped, stripped and raw
but you can adapt and see the wonder in the day
even when the words never really go away
they are dormant but sneak in when it was a solid thing
hibernating bears always wake up in the spring
wings mend themselves if they aren't clipped
to bring
new lessons when they are folded against
bodies with the crisp scent of the air stirring
and purring in their chest
putting logic again to rest
and whirring like a sky dancer who remembered her laces
and how to tie them
against thieves and clouds
for long hard flights
and remembered faces

that was absolutely beautiful, especially the last few words- a very delicate poem.
What's happening in PP's life, I'm wondering. Would you share?

I, too, love the delicate shift at the end juxtaposed with the meatier stuff before.

Love vs. Logic... an eternal battle, eh?
