Reverberation




First a hum, and then a whir, and then the ringing. The commotion of daylight will drown it out, but that tinny reverberation worst offends a battered heart sleeping alone.  

In silent penumbra

she whispers across the barren. 

What do you do if the ink blot doesn't turn into a puddle, and then a lake, and then an ocean? What do you do then? 

I can tell she already knows the answer. 

You find relief in knowing you will not drown today.

  6. While you're waiting for the flood you learn to swim so it won't overwhelm you.

    Take care of yourself, ok? I'm worried.

  11. Oh LuLu, I have missed yours posts... they always draw me inside myself and pulls out those dark places we all try to hide... to find out that they really weren't as bad as we thought... oh but so hard to see at that time.

    Always insightful and thought proving thoughts :)
