Have you ever felt ethereal?

sorenbarrett

Have you ever griped a cloud in your hand, held water in a bowel of sand, restrained a shadow that flees
Tied down a moving star, made near out of far, secured a breeze between your knees 
Tied a knot in thin air, woven cloth of happiness from threads of despair, painted hatred with love's brush
Washed night with sunlit rays, with your lips planted seeds of days and with a mobius band held back time's rush

        I heard in days of old Sol used to gently light up the night sky from afar. That was a fun read, Soren.

                Love this, Soren! That image of holding back time with a Möbius band really caught me. It’s clever and quietly profound…a perfect symbol for looping desire and human longing. Beautifully imagined, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                      lyrical and alchemical poetry.. bending reality showing how hard it is hold on to anything.

                      • sorenbarrett

                        some are definitely out of reach - easier to rise our of despair and spread cheer though
                        a great write - wonderful thoughts probing inner consciousness
