I am
colors
on the outside
I brush
up against my insides
rushing forward
I trace
myself
back
into life —
living
folded up
against the
world
charting a course
I am pressed
like
a
grain of sand
it’s crystal clear
I’m cut off from my own sight
imagine
I
am
neither
mix nor colors
I
find
not a hue
of
myself
only
the
spirit of
shadowleaves

Ed ~ thanks for your comments! Yes the poem is something I have not written in-line before. Took me some time to place this type of theme in such a public forum! But glad I did! I have been dealing with many losses & chronic health problems which have forced many changes in my life that I wasn't really ready for ~ having to redefine my life! Many if your edits I too agree need to be changed ~ thanks!!
