Dancing along the treeline

Posted on 22 December 2020 by Iain under Thinking Out Loud

Dancing along the Treeline The sentient forest of the selfWhere each tree is a truth of who you areThis canopy stride holds only realities, not dreamsIt is present, prescient, and purposeful Not all are brave enough to face a walk amongst the truthsWhere the mirror you see has only the piercing eyes of honestyBlinking ceases […]

Posted on 14 December 2020 by Iain under Thinking Out Loud

Between the Lines The deafening silence of stagnant wavesThe steady flow of liquid steelThe zen-like rush of cowardly bravesThe truth you can’t touch, but still, feel The darkest light glows inside outThe stillness in a summer breezeUnspoken words, where a look can shoutThe shock that causes a fevered freeze Art is the inner world brought […]
