I am … inexplicable

W3 Prompts 1 Minutes

I am more than a trillion countless cells;
A succession of split-seconds
Gathered on the cusp of yesterdays’ ghosts,
The pregnant pause before tomorrows’ eyes
open to breathe a world pulled poles apart
I lose myself when drawn within;
Find myself when propelled beyond
Choices lay littered or seized for the day
Mindful all footprints are left on my way

My husband says I am a nightmare, actually, a ”complex nightmare”, said with love and understanding of course! In truth the phrase probably does sum me up which is why I will use it. Explanation:- • Complex due to my thoughts being varied, deep and even conflicting • Nightmare due to their constant, numerous and consuming nature. I am an emotional writer, finding writing a medium with which to express myself; I find this difficult verbally and am averse to any conflict. I am creative and artistic at work and hobbies; (working in jewellery) but only have enthusiasm for “bespoke” creations. I find it difficult to label a theme to my writing but recently am enjoying learning and experimenting with different forms of poetry. A few very difficult years emotionally have drawn me to this genre. Somehow, I am finding more clarity in my thoughts by using words that are not always so clear, or even placed in a structure that take me out of my comfort zone.... hmmm work that one out LOL. I am excited to see what I write, as it is a total surprise to me every time; but draws me.... My life experiences are such that I have a personal view on most subjects and if you follow me you may find my topics to be what my daughter would call “random”. Even when my focus is dark, I am actually a positive person by nature and have found strength to get through many obstacles in life - even if some "down" times are more lengthy than others ; maybe it is in my DNA - my blood group is B+ (be positive)! If you have read this, welcome to a bit of my world ....

        I’ve written some Zen like pieces myself. Good to be in the present – the gift that keeps on giving 🙂
