 Fireflies in Osaka, Japan. Credit: Asahi Shimbun Getty Images 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 © Shelley Hickox 2019

AboutShelley'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. Archives
