There are days i get lost in them,
wrapped in a skyful of them;
some days more than others
where i can drown in their seduction
from this life as usual,

there are days they are all that i have
to echo proof that i do in fact exist,
and i don't want to struggle
or venture outside of myself
to find the tiny bit of light
outside of their warm insulation,
because lately humanity blinks
like an broken sign
and doesnt stand tall as a lighthouse
to wave me to safe harbor,

so i swim in them and sink in them,

swim in them and sink in them,

they are my subjects
and i arrange them as needed
to keep me afloat while i remain
earth tetthered,

there are days i dont want to come out from them;

the world makes me weary;
and today is one of those days.

...those lines in particular, really grabbed me. You are a very fine poetess, Goddess Michele.

If these days bring such powerful inspiration they do have a reason to exist !

Great poetry!

Love and hugs.

First I thought of waves, then I thought of birds, then I thought of sunflowers
then I figured all three
would drown away this world,
even if for a spell.

Me and you both.
