Something Wants the Fire in the Water

Mutley Ravishes

What am I doing out here

Yet again

In open space?

I'm going to waste

Of energy some say

I contain evolutionary powers

That be

On Earth, underground

And even in space(?)

Seek ways

To separate

Me from your

    A most interesting write of a spiritual nature. How does one separate the earthly aspects from the Avatar? Nicely written

      Thanks, Soren. I wrote it from the perspective of a “little one” who’d been flung out in a moment of excitement! The “avatar” is the body in this rhyme. I enjoyed your take on it.

        You are most welcome

        Mutley, this reads like a voice questioning its own embodiment. Power, doubt, and presence collide as you ask what’s being separated and why. Abstract, uneasy, and compelling, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

          Interesting take, Tristan. The voice was that of a very small guy who gets overlooked, wondering why he gets cast out of the avatar (body) so often . And who, or what, has a vested interest in that casting out!
