Like that moment
When you're in the bathtub
Swimming with the sunset
Cleaning the dirt from your nails
That remind you
Of the clawing, kicking, and screaming
Mostly of the silence
As you finally surfaced
From the deepest trench
You've ever encountered
The edge always being close
But the footing always off
We have searched the ages
The dictionaries
The encyclopedias
The books
The stories
The music
For that one expression
That just might for the littlest bit
Describe the most soul warming,
Buttery, solitary moment
When you realize you aren't alone.
Knowing full heartedly
I can tell you
No one can take away these
Experiences.
This is a clear but uniquely complex poem. It's direct at times, and indirect in very timely ways. I love it. It has a lot of breadth, and is refreshingly straightforward. Thanks for sharing.
