Glimpse into the Soul
Uncommonly Rare
The air escaped me
In a gasping breath
Surreal, freakish, bizarre
A vision of life or maybe death
Darkness engulfing everything
But for a glimmer, a slight glow
Pulse beating too quick, rapidly
What is it? I don't know
Not threatening nor fearsome
Intriguing, magnetic, beckoning
Summoning, tempting, inviting
Challenging or reckoning
Oddly transfixed
Rooted to the spot
Sweat pouring innocuously
The air moist, yet hot
It's slowly closing in
Not too far away
A swell of warmth inside
Movements a rhythmic sway
Guided to move forward
Enveloping sensations of love
Emitting a charge of energy
Surrounding, underneath, above
Unique, uncommon, exquisite
So captivatingly whole
Mystical, magical, extraordinary
A glimpse into the soul
So beautiful, authentic
Exposed with all to bare
Only truths on display
A peek at something so very rare
Image reflecting back
Honest, transparent, real
The mirror a portal
My soul no longer concealed

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
