CAVERN DARK DWELLERS
They’re moving
down there
those blind
limbless
slithering
albino
cavern dark
dwellers
Sliding over
around
upon
under
beside
each other
All dry
wet
formless
forms
Slithering
Sluckering
Slack
against the other
Blind
their quest
unknown to
any
including self
I feel them
down there
cavern dark
dwellers
ceaseless
churning
Unreliable foundation
for
impulse
shock
knee-jerk
reaction
All insecure
creatures
Know nothing
yet questing
feel nothing
yet yearning
do nothing
yet undermining
I feel them
down there
cavern dark
dwellers
I feel you
in here
cavern dark
dwellers
My eyes are still open
I needn’t slither
Stay in the dark
This world too bright
too full
too opportune
for ceaseless
blind
negativity
Keep in your
cavern
you
cavern dark
dwellers
You shall not
devour
exploration
enticement
excitement
and rapture
They are mine
and you
frankly
are yours
I love to write in a moment, and I love to write for you, so please leave me a prompt in the comments – a word, a sentence, an image – and I’ll write you a little something.
Also, sometimes, my writing helps someone I don’t know – I can’t predict or plan for that, and I’m humbled when I hear it’s happened – all I can do is ask you to share my writing, and increase the chances that it gets to the person who may need it.
Thank you for reading, as always!
Love-Peace-Trust
