Flow...

Flow

See yourself in my reflection, you
Reflecting back in me, distorted, who?
Deflected blame for chaos rippling through
Connections, denial of that which is true.

Rushing onwards, never stop, might
Actions trickle onwards? Loosing sight
Of purpose, spiral-caught in hurried flight
The birthing journey swallowed in, despite.

Attempt to hide, lost reflected own,
Untruthfully convinced you stand alone,
Still churning, tumbling on, seeds sown
Doubts weigh anchor, choker’d dreamer grown.

You cannot run from that within, turn
Inwards, fray a’facing, painful: learn,
That which you seek, for all you yearn
Reflected though your eyes, return.

The anxious wait for calm to rise,
Restless, out-turned, must realise:
Mirrored souls can reach the skies
And ripple through these wat’ry eyes.



It's been a while since I've ventured into this forum. Thankyou for taking the time to read my work.

I enjoyed reading this, very circular, somewhat like a whirlpool, yet completely flowing progression (very appropriate title).

An interesting journey. Thank you for sharing

Thanks MezZ Bit of a difficult one, I think - not sure if it communicated well, but I'm interested to hear what others feel it to mean.

This part in particular really spoke to me... I keep saying that I need to get away for a while, but I know that it's just issues that I need to work out, that wont go away no matter where I run to.

Nice work
