Euphoric sleep, Eyes open, Everglades welcome Me with open arms, Daydream against blue Skies, cloudless as my Mind’s open fields Where I escape Fast-moving, delirious Life, filled with Worries and sorrow.
Escape with eyes closed Any moment of the day, But when I find euphoric Sleep, dreaming with eyes Wide open, I am a bird gliding Above mountain ranges, Free and alive.
I have been struggling to untie my tongue for over a decade. The knot has burrowed inside my mouth, the discomfort stifling when I try to speak; but when words wade in deep waters while I drown, they become a lifeline. I need only carry them to share. Not in sight, but in mind’s eye, a memory of light that dare not penetrate the bottom of the ocean. Should the courage find me, I will swim to find my words floating on the surface, but the cold ocean is my burrow, made by my own cocoon of uncertainty in the possibility that life has a purpose. Convinced of otherwise, I’ll stop my feet from kicking. Should fortune find me, buoyancy will grab me by the waist until I reach the surface above. The knot in my tongue still there, I cower at the thought of another seeing it, but if they will help me untie it, then it is worth the struggle.
