In multitudes of magnificence. napowrimo poem 16

 


Normal is vastly overrated.

 

The ordinary - boring and slightly dated.

 

Embrace the wonder of weird,

the obscure structures of odd,

those fumbled words to which we adhere,

in this world where unique is outlawed.

 

The magic lives right here

and it flows around us all

like candyfloss spinning

on a carnival stall.

 

There is joy to be found

if you flip the view upside down.

 

Stop looking through eyes

drowned by the murky,

grim waters that surround,

instead, swim high in the air,

let your thoughts fly

and they will combine

with a million more,

each more wonderfully obscure

than the one before.

 

 Normal is so last year. 

 

Now is the time to fully embrace life,

ignore the gripping vines that

cling to the walls from time to time,

climbing to try to obstruct your view,

cut off the air supply

to your already fraught lungs.

Find the weird that lives within you,

and let it wash away the grim residue.

 

For we are unique,

every smile sings of

something which lives

and breathes in multitudes

of magnificence.

 

Embrace the magic

and let the love it conjures

be the light that guides you.
