lost in your head
– a maze in shade, leaves in fall
blown autumnal memories
*
your mind’s lost and found
place of missed discoveries:
space to be, begin
*
become right here, be
fresh and free like that loved child
you were and yet will be
*
in this place of warmth
(this then’s the only way in?)
welling from your core
*
and you’re here right now
as these words flit through your brain
lit like sparks in rain
*
in our synapses
no unlinked unwoke spaces
no clueless faceless faces –
*
flaming in the flow
of watery reflections
you are here right now.

What a lovely poem!
“space to be, begin|become right here, be|fresh and free like that loved child|you were and yet will be…”
A beautiful, uplifting, positive line.
Full of mindfulness and a good reminder that living in the moment is ome of the best ways to stay sane.
Thank you so much for your thoughts, Yu Yan, they are much appreciated!
Philosophic conundrum: „You are here right now“ – you are here in the words?
I’m sure I am, Scarlett, but are you?
I am, if I am in the Now.
One striking thing I noticed about this poem: the line „(this then‘s the only way in?“) – the only italicized, bracketed line in the poem – is – it cannot be coincidentally – at its very center: there are ten lines on either side of it!
Well spotted, Scarlett, and thanks for sharing.
