I toss grains of sand forged in a million stories To the sea of your shifting consciousness Ripples collide, things wriggle under Puffing and swirling like seaspray runs in a coastal drift Lifting and settling on tongues And becomes filling like air within open lungs Sound and sights travel across the ocean gloss The surface crumpled, shimmering like living foil Away and toward Below, aboard Innumerable conditions, multitudinous facets struck by glaring light steal your discerning of every color’s pinpricks Your silence is alive Away from my eyes All the things with which we are unwittingly intertwined in this web of the minds online And outside And inside I hear singing Cravings and lures Exchanging words and unsheathing swords Stinging truths and harsh realities How much could you tell of yours?
