Abeyance

Lazily, the darkness lilts

Stretching and warping

How long have we been here?

Raisin hues

Punctuate the pillows beneath our eyes

Rolling and folding

Our bodies cling to the serenity

Stillness softly holds us,

Assiduously as we labour.

Amethyst shards refracting in the sky

Pierce through the mulberry veil,

We fall gracefully

Timeless and shapeless

Effectuating antiquated practices.

Lavender peaks stir,

Tucked behind the cloudiness of life.

We clamber into the shell of a thousand unfinished yesterday’s,

Using old smiles for new ways.

Bending and pleating

Worries dressed in duty... but... we live
