Something I wrote

Lady_AlisonLady_Alison Veteran
edited January 2012 in Arts & Writings
It is cold and dark in my room. A large shaft of light cuts through a gap of crushed velvet.

I sit beneath it and close my eyes. Deep breaths, no where for me to run and hide.

Deep breaths.

The mind is cunning and starts to chat about everything as if she had not seen me in days.

I greet her kindly and do not force her down but embrace her chatter as I would a child's.

Deep breaths.

The light shaft feels warm, igniting my skin and bones. I bask like a kitten in its glow.

Deep breaths.

The space clears, the child, now content, returns to her hiding place.

I open my eyes...the world is alive again.

Deep breaths.

  • Let me look it up...you know what I meant (narrowing eyes, hand on hip, holding the cast iron skillet in the other)
  • @zero..did I burn the cat?!
  • Dont be so hard on yourself. I thought it was great. It cuts deep. Its very discriptive too.
  • I blame the cat...and I was just so calm. Thank you, that was kind.
