Inside & out

The sun shines, illuminates all

All but dark corners and patchwork shadows, leaving cold places

My heart takes refuge in the shade of the world

Passing gazes leave impressions like music notes from a quietly stricken piano,

Tiny tunes follow me until I have a full concerto, remnants of reminders about my third party oddness

I paint pictures of my life with words, sometimes creating the wrong scenario that becomes put on display like the main sign of a business entrance, informing incorrectly of what lies within

Push and pull until I become us instead of I, fragmented, individual parts playing together like a stream of smoke rolling off a blazing situation.
