It has always been there
Beneath the vespers of feelings
Swept into glitter where I dance
Dispersed freely, raining unto myself
These are the whispers inside
The breeze that I carry and that carries me
Winter changes her shape, thickening
Still, the curve of horizons remain defined
It has always been there
Layers upon layers of fine silt
Protection from the cold that may come
Or a fall that may leave broken branches
To articulate the veins of a wild river
Requires the dam and spill of such intensity
As to drive a man blind in a heartbeat strike
But the churn of emotions drives forth my sails
As I fear what I cannot control or steady
It has always been there
Just a first or second story
In the flow of my own mind

Kathleen?

The best way to read
your poetry
is to speak aloud
your poetry...

Swept into glitter where I dance
...
Winter changes her shape, thickening
...
It has always been there
Layers upon layers of fine silt


Magnifique!

I love how you described yourself.  I appreciate what Sunshine says.  I almost always read your poetic compositions aloud!

You used some very nice imagery, yet didn't plug too much of it in, so the poem flowed very nicely.
