Light And Dark

This week in Poets And Storytellers United, Magaly invites us to write poetry on perspective.

My response to the prompt:

I hold a lantern

Into the night

"Oh! There's light"

I smile 

But after a while

The moon seems

So distant...the stars

Way farther from sight

I agonise over day light 

Irreverent to dreams

Yet

Sometimes

The night embalms

The wounds 

That have slithered

Unto time unknown

I oscillate 

Between darkness

And light

Days and nights

Folding my self

Into a foetus of 

Knowing...not knowing 

The umbilical cord

It seems

Has still not been

Severed

From the closet of

The womb

To a Universe

Of (im) possibilities

Change

This week in Poets And Storytellers United Rosemary wants us to tell about change, whatever it calls to mind. 

My response:

I change

With the seasons

I change

With the winds

I change

With the colours

The flowers bring

I change 

With the clouds 

Travelling afar

I change

With the songs

The birds sing

I change

With the currents

Of the rivers' flow

I change

With the night

As the days go

I change

As change 

Is the only theme

That outlives 

My every dream
