Hazy Acres

My soul lets you dance in my mind 

Because I need to go through it 

Even on the dark side of this circle

I left no invitation 

There isn’t an opening 

You’re allowed to be a process 

I will feel every ounce of it 

It will burn like peak fire 

My soul can handle it 

The art invites it 

My body endures

All of it is for the health of me 

Overall 

Eventually 

In the sense that we are stronger 

From the pain 

You can stay as long as you want

Uninvited 

I swim in the prickly unknowns

Of your time 

With me 

It will burn like peak fire 

You’re allowed to be a process 

I sit there with you 

Silently 

Observing how you come in 

Randomly 

I accept the fiction of it 

How I played the game 

Dancing in the friction

Watching the line disappear 

Watching it fade before my eyes 

When it all was too loud 

Not to be denied 

From time to time 

When images become something else 

As I am someone else 

Writing on the wall with invisible ink 

All over the places 

We occupied 

I wonder what stays 

Eventually 

The imagination 

The reality 

The blurry lines

The words spoken 

The reasons 

The actions 

The intuition 

How it lands 

As if it never existed 

All of you 

In time
