Gift

 


It's a gift, the magic flows

from my fingertips,

to slip upon the page.

I look at the world

through a day glow haze,

in an aquatic dream state

like watching the action as if it's a play

on an underwater stage.

I let it all flow over me,

slow and steady.

I feel the waves, as they pull my mind

in many different ways.

 

I see the way sunlight

shines upon every strand of hair,

every moonbeam laying

on skin laid bare,

I don’t need to use my eyes

for I feel these things within me.

In every breath I taste beauty,

in every word that flows throughout me,

I feel it fizzing longingly on my tongue.

Then I release the words,

one by one until I sit empty,

and all my words are long gone.

 

I don’t need to see

for my mind is always a step ahead of me.

It sees things my eyes would simply never see,

it detects the tiniest detail,

each dimple and line from every smile

that has even crossed your mind.

It sees these things

and it drips them onto the page.

Uncaging the words

that have been left abandoned. 

They have sat untamed

for such a long time

just feeling their internal pain

like a flame burning the edges of the page.

 

Even in darkness it sees,

it sleeps with pictures of beauty,

inducing dreams.

that most could never conceive.

It's a gift,

because I get to witness so much,

feel every touch,

weaved into the strands

of cosmic dust we leave.

Like the feeling of your hair,

brushing through the fingertips,

like sand through the hands.

Teasing a new storyline.

 

It sees you, looking back through

the looking glass view.

It knows you see it,

it knows the words that want

to fall from your lips.

But it sees the anguish,

the way this thought

could crash through the peace.

It witnesses you trying the words on for size.

Do they fit? Do they feel right?

Are they too tight?

Or too dark with not enough light?

I know to me they are the only words

that cross my mind,

like a bridge across the river of time.
