Poetry: I Will Be Alright Tonight

​I want to escape my thoughts
They burn slowly through my mind

Ember and spark
Ember and spark

Spiraling

In the winds of doubt and fear
Grasping for answers
Disappearing like fireflies
Only to reappear in another part of the sky
It's path unknown
It's journey mysterious
Soon a whole field is illuminated

A mine field
A MIND field

A field to dream
Sometimes there is too much space

To fill
To fill

Tonight I listen to the frogs outside
Their rhythmic croaking is a comfort
That nature stands unaffected by my thoughts

Nature will be alright
I will be alright
Tonight

    About

    Shelley's Inkwell blog is where non-fiction and fiction collide. It's a place for my life reflections and a place to escape into some really good stories. Sometimes that really good story is fiction and sometimes it's non-fiction. Because sometimes the best chapters in life are the ones we could never write ourselves.

    I invite you to put your feet up, brew a hot cup of coffee and listen to a good story. And don't forget to comment! I love hearing from you!
