Refined

life holds me in its grasp
confined to this world
patiently awaiting occurrences
comatose at times
intermittent joy at others
mostly bored or riddled stiff with being
with each jarring
life rasps the essence of me finer
the wholeness diminished
there’s less of me
until there is nothing left
this is the cycle of life

    Will it go round in circles?
    Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky?

    1. That’s actually how this piece started. For some reason in my mind, the feeling of life impacting felt like being being “rasped into nothingness”, and then the image of sifting flour appeared. 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it, Val!
