liquid pours along the edges
moving in from all directions
the center is lost; unbound

eyes seek the horizon
in an attempt to stabilize
spinning on a changing axis; unfound

futile attempts at bringing everything in
pulling towards the center
as if it could help bind one back together

at the point when all feels asunder; lost unto itself
the peace comes upon the ultimate surrender
stillness found within a moving point both ironic & iconic

a much needed cooling off
molds broken apart
a new form emerges
another smelting within the foundry

“You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.”

  1. Your poem works well with the quote from Rumi. Kind of like the phoenix rising.
