The Shape of My Mind

gray0328

 

they hold the inkblot before me  

their eyes search my silence  

like they're trying to find  

a needle in a hurricane  

 

what do you see? they ask  

a question heavy with expectation  

i see a fist opening  

or is it a heart breaking?  

 

someone else might see a tree  

its roots tearing through darkness  

someone might see a moth igniting  

its wings against the sun  

 

is my answer the truth  

or just the shadow of my fear?  

the shapes have no edges  

only the boundaries we give them    

 

we see what we are  

a mirror turned inward  

the blot becomes a diary  

and the page keeps listening

    A lovely interpretation of the test itself. Well explored and worded it speak just as a poem is a reflection of the writer and reader.
