This weeks words are:

The Sea Within
Currents.
Currently flowing.
Waves. Beating, unrelenting,
Wash over me, through me.
Words, emotions, senses,
Stir, nudge, jostle me
Fight for space in me
Tumble through my mind.
Sounds, tastes, even scents,
Toss and turn, end on end.
It is both magic and scorcery.
But I must wear it, face it.
It takes me to the edge,
Teeters and then re-centres,
Stretches me, contracts me,
Creates me.
Deserts me.

Poignant - and a stunning image to illustrate it too.

ReplyDelete‘The Sea Within’ is a raw and powerful glimpse into the emotional waves we all navigate. It captures the unrelenting currents of thoughts, feelings, and senses that pull us in so many directions: the magic and chaos, creation and desertion, balance and teetering on the edge. It’s a deeply human reflection of struggle and survival! Thank you, I really enjoyed reading it.
A very thoughtful comment, thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is the way life pulls you. Love the senses in this.
