'When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness & diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.' --John F. Kennedy

; thoughts race; brain screams; mind churns with

hatred; disgust - food sits in

my stomach like a bruise; each

bite swallowed - an act of self-

destruction. bitter aftertaste

of guilt burns my mouth; choked down

as regret claws at my throat.

The best age to be is the age when you are healing. You feel it in your #bones, in your heart, in your mind, in your soul, and it doesn't matter how long it took, or how hard it was to get where you are today.
You're just grateful to be alive, right now, in this magnificently volatile world

I'm gathering bones scattered throughout my past, from all of the little deaths that nearly killed me, but I somehow survived.
I'm stacking the #bones from who I used to be on a sacrificial pyre.
It's almost time to set them afire, then I'll watch the past burn away where it needs to be.

My mindset has been frigging awful recently (though it's been a frequent problem for me my whole life.) I'm trying to undo the damage my own brain has done and is doing to me. It will take time and a lot of effort. So I must be patient with me.

these bones are weary
that carry humanity
we've walked a long time
we just keep wandering
but we won't find it out there

A scenic town
Hidden behind sunlight
And poetry

Blending in
Through the passage of time
Only appearing to the unseen

In a moonlit reunion
When true love souls move on
Leaving the world & their #bones behind

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 9 is #bones

"...a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool."

T. S. Eliot

‘I spotted the #pale squirrel.’

‘You mean albino squirrel.’

‘The white one, whatever.’

‘It must be your lucky day. I haven’t seen one in a while.’

‘Well, now it should be easier to see with the black spots I put on it.’

ready to
step out
of the pale
a need for vivid
for real
ready to
step through
the veil
back to living
back from dead
a place where, sun shines
thru the vines
&blood turns red
in your heart

Sometimes the world’s
Just a spinning cube
The moon a yucky #pale yellow
With the stars barely holding
The sky up

But still I wake up
To march on
Thinking about the sunshine
While my soul slithers away
Withering invisible with time
