I feel a suppression of expression
I feel it’s time
I’ve waited long enough
It’s time to let go

I hear the music play
I see elegant lines
I touch the keyboard
I smell a morning dew

I can’t hold back

I let go of the self
It’s how I choose
It’s how I live
It’s over

Until it isn’t.
I’m met with infinite choices
I freeze
It begins

Waves of life flicker
The frequency of reality hums
As I hold on for dear life
As I set myself free

I ran and I ran
I dove through the future
Time flew by, then I stopped

Trillions of little moments came racing back
Wednesday stopped becoming Friday
Next year became a thing of the past
Time stood still, then I arrived

I took stock of my world
I peered into moments
My eyes were wide with wonder
I left the future behind
And now; I live

Freedom isn’t free
My brothers and sisters
…they pay the price

Our ** Cold War ** burns
As the Red Scare becomes the Black Horror

Ukraine is US ; defying tyrants
We know hate never wins
In the end

I lose words
…sometimes

I say words
…as they fall on deaf ears

I scribble letters
…as meaning dissolves

Then I find the words
…again

I find the right words
…in the moment

I stumble on words
…as I end
