A Minds Shape
Rolling hills, curving valleys,
scattered clumps of oaks.
Strong limbs unwavering
as the form awaiting seats.
each an idea waiting to be written.
Freedom of fantasy,
suspense of science fiction,
horror of horror,
romance twisted in,
not to be ignored.
Comedic laughter,
dry tears,
awaiting at fingertips.
Gathered ingredients,
awaiting to become
a meal fit for everyone.
Bursting flavors,
rampaging ideas,
flowing together through
valleys, hills,
giving life to new ones.
Lone building resting,
holding things held dear.
Warm, comforting,
a place to keep one's strengths.
To hide one's fears,
saved memories,
hopes, dreams,
secret wishes made long ago
on a far away star.
A place to be safe,
free of fear, harm.
Always at play,
worries swept up
to join along,
in the sweeping wind.
Holding on,
protecting what has
always been.
Always growing,
always changing
yet staying the same.
Time runs on,
things begin to fade,
flowing away.
Some regained,
some lost for all.
Stories told,
stories kept,
stories passed.
Past,
present,
future,
all twined together,
here.
