Meditation

8-track stack of sweat-soaked night-
mares thundering across mind plains
valleys, recesses, alcoves hold secret
meet ups for craigslist enthusiasts,
borrowed truck on life’s freeway,
dusty blue sky in the rearview,
and a pineapple pizza delivery.
Add it all up and sadness still blooms.
A desert cactus flower I am not
yet there is this — resilience.

Gosh, yes. My goodness. So much to unpack. I love it. Yes. Thank you for sharing. Wow.

Love the process of writing for discovering what remains packed.

Wow...so beautiful, deep, yet peaceful.

Thank you! <3

Meditation sure does help for sure. Is that sculpture made of clay or maybe rock?

I think it's rock. I'm not 100% sure. I'll take a closer look at it next time I visit Lili!

Aw, this is going to my private collection. I will use it when I find time to restart my poetry obsession. I need some inspiration on that field, it has been a while when I wrote anything lyrical, my multiple personalities and imaginary friends are already angry at me hahahaha.

Hooray! :) :) :)

holy cow, the flow...gotta resteem =D

You are indeed a great poetry writer. @shawnamawna.
