Aislinn
Free
Wild
Strong
A spirited creature dancing on the wind
Moving to a music of my own
An elusive image
Easy to read
Not so easily understood
A different language similar to your own
A presence unsubstantial, yet potent
Familiarity is but a sense
No memory of yours serves recognition
You only know what you see
But there is so much more than what can be seen
These circumstances do not serve as restraints
You see captivity and think me a slave
I am not chained to this place
But choose to rest here
I know who I am
And that knowing is hidden in an untouchable place
A natural freedom that cannot be captured
Jealous of my freedom
You quiet this dancing flame
But never extinguish its brilliant light
I am a dream of times long gone
A relic lost to its world
I am Aislinn

Thanks!
Wow, thanks! I know, I love this picture and it actually looks a little like me, lol. I showed it to someone and they said "gross, her flesh is turned inside out." It's not though; it’s a portrait of a plant person. She’s literally made of flower parts. Hope you're not disappointed by my other stuff:)

this is awesome. My mind slows down when i read your writing, and this is a good thing.
Thanks!
It's always good to hear that my writing doesn't suck, but is actually pleasant to read, especially when it's from someone other than my mom or a teacher:) Maybe your mind slows down while reading because I write really slowly and there's some residual energy that reveals how much time and energy went into it, lol. No joke though, I write really slowly, it's exhausting.
Wow!
Beautiful & captivating!
Really? Thanks!
Really? Thanks!
Absolutely!
And your words freed memories of someone I have not thought of in a long time. Thank you! ;-)
Glad you liked it!
No, thank you, and I'm glad you liked it! It made me think of the Faroe Islands (excluding the whale hunting) and some of Jonsi’s music.
