Floating

Tastes bittersweet

By Louise R.Published 4 years ago 1 min read

Fasted hands waiver in the decay.

Bruised purple pools beneath it's skin.

The expanse lifts me from my waist to witness it’s fantastical horror.

I wither in it’s heights.

Forever in the process of rebirth, as meaty limbs wax and wane on bone.

I am suspended there in the belly of creation, peering out.

Curled in the powerful helplessness of soul.

Can it be that I have feet for the ground?

Will the solidness ever appear for them to touch down and be rooted?

I am flailing in the dark of this moment.

A billowy birth from the chaotic funnel of the universe.

Its lighted eyes only glimpsed between whirls.

How can we be flying and falling all at once?

About the Creator

Louise R.

I've always written. Mostly poetry and stream of thought. I don't expect to get much recognition and that's okay, I just want to have a place to purge myself creatively and constructively.
