They’ve Stolen My Serenity! March 25, 2019March 26, 2019 I told you yesterday that spring had sprung and i knew because i saw a fly and a bull ant on the floor by the fireplace, a tickling on my arm as i wrote this piece not fifteen minutes ago a tiny spider had invaded my space! There are gnats and mosquitos and other tiny things i can’t imagine sharing air that a week ago floated crystals of lace like wings each a drifting masterpiece floating down or streaming sidewise with crystal clarity seen within air that was mine to breathe while witnessing the beauty of each and every living thing stripped bare of all distractions; Air that I’ve shared with no one now, that I share with all the little things that come alive each spring. My life more complicated now no longer distraction free avoiding their lines of intersection between the search for whatever it is they’re searching for inside purest air I’ve been breathing, air i’ve shared with no one. The soil fecund now … i do not use that word lightly! Stored snow or frost grown permanent five or six ‘moon go ’rounds’ ago where all these beings waited within their clear winter amber quick frozen in gathered humus or crystalline within the muck, the eggs of their existence captured when sun’s light slowed to dim orange when trees released their bed covers to darker still intensity captured by cold stillness within their sleeping spaces during gestation’s time to lie in wait, for warmer sun’s return to free the life within those amber spaces not sleeping having never been alive (as such) waiting to emerge from broken water, released by whiter light! These creatures that surround me now within my sight! that feed upon my light! that touch my flesh! that share with me my breath! my choice bereft! the world no longer stripped bare of all confusion and complexity black and white and clean and fresh! They’ve STOLEN my Serenity … ! ! Share this:TwitterLinkedInRedditPocketPinterestPrintEmailMoreFacebookLike this:Like Loading... Related
