I write myself

I write myself


I write myself
written March 29th, 2021

around the cracks in a window
through the looking glass
reflected in a tarnished mirror
sideways and from a distance
right onto the page
I write myself

in every tree and golden hawk
every person seen with my soul
every poem read and reflected on
I write myself

re-membering the dead
and secrets long kept
that I now declare out loud
I write myself

the lost-forgotten-sleeping
the denied-angry-hurt
the joyful-sexual-loving
I write myself

my present - my world
my head - my heart
that I hope nobody will understand
(or that I want them to understand?)
I write myself

a future healthy and whole
that I am scared to imagine
afraid to hope for or want
I write myself

connections to the world
physical - spiritual -<b> natural
</font></b>me reaching out to touch you
I write myself

My blood - My beating heart - My breath
all of my all
all that I am - was - might be one day
I write myself

I write to make solid
all those nebulous things
floating around and about and in me
I write myself whole.

Exquisite in every way, from beginning to end.

Thank you! Means a lot to me you think so. I'm pretty in love with it myself. Wonder where they come from sometimes. Hugs! Thanks for reading me and commenting.

One word at the end explains the meaning of the whole poem; I write myself WHOLE. We all need 'things' through which we can express ourselves and make our existence a little more real. This is doing it for ME. Your writing is bringing a greater understanding to me; something which I'm sure wasn't your primary objective.

My explorations into myself, will mirror others explorations of themselves. Perhaps you play your music for some of the reasons I write. Hugs dear.
