PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

So that’s what this feels like

It’s like shooting yourself into the sky

Exploding into a thousand tiny fragments

And then floating slowly

Slooooowly

Back down to the earth

You’re lightheaded

Fuzzy, even

You couldn’t recite the alphabet if you tried

And if you even think about having a conversation

Don’t, let the silence abide

Warp yourself in its warm embrace

Fall into another place

…so this is what it feels like

To be in solitude

Graceful

Beautiful

Solitude

Don’t interrupt the moment

When it’s over

We’ll do it again

And again

…and again
