Invitation to a Very Important Date

Serendipitaz's picture

BAM

silence breaks into pieces

and stabs my ears


MY BRAIN FLIES OUT OF MY HEAD

I lose control of my legs

I lose control of my hands

My whole body feels jittery


SOMETHING TAKES CONTROL OF ME

colors spin around

pick me up

and take me

down a rabbit hole


EVERYTHING SLIPS AWAY

no matter how hard I want to hold on

I can’t

the vacuum sucks me in


SO, I LET GO

with nothing to hold on to

I float in the air


MEET EYE TO EYE

with all that which

was passing by me,

with all that which

was unknown to me


WITH THE BRIGHT YELLOW LIGHT

smiling at me and inviting me

I smile back

till I land face flat

on the floor


I RISE

with my feet grounded

head strong

ready to embrace


I

am rearranged

not broken


FEAR NOT

for dissonance is

just another doorway
