Earthquakes rattle from my chest
inconvenient at best
because I’m trying to get some rest
Silence the flowing capacious mind
before it puts my everything into a bind
hopes elope and make them hard to find
Words intertwine
as sweet-breath-flavored-wine
could it all be folly or is it a favorable sign?
Is it all tuning into notes of confession
this musicality form of obsession
the ideas are dancing in sultry procession
Stories of life’s greatest glory nods
and resilience that blossomed against all odds
learned to embrace my imperfections, instead of treating them as frauds

Great job. Fave lines are: Silence the flowing capacious mind and Silence the flowing capacious mind
You’ve created a vivid and powerful moment. Here we see disquiet followed by feelings of lost hope and perhaps discovery. Simply beautiful
i love stream of consciousness pieces. They are so free. And this one is gorgeous. My favorite line: Is it all tuning into notes of confession this musicality form of obsession the ideas are dancing in sultry procession. Exquisite piece.
The tremor isn’t a warning; it’s the ground adjusting to who you’re becoming.
Our minds are amazing places, and spiritual battlefields, which presents an unsettling mixture to begin with. Our imperfections are what make us us, and they're not always imperfections. To someone they're perfectly you. " God, grant me the Courage to change the things I can, The Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, And the Wisdom to know the difference." Amen. 😊🌸🩵
