dandelion
I've been inking
out my soul for six years now
all of my dark days
in black & white
I was talking to the preacher's wife
she told me I had a gift
my dark writes
aren't in me anymore
& I wondered where it went
why would I be gifted with something
just to have it taken away?
all this time
you've been getting to know me
you know me
I knew me
I don't know this person
who doesn't need a drink
really fucking need a drink
everyday & night
not to say I don't sip some wine
have a beer
but I can take it or leave it today
something is different
I hated God for a long time
I knew he was there but hated him so much
wouldn't even say his name
would say the powers that be
because I preferred them
I don't know why
I had to go through hell on Earth
was it to reach you?

It is often said that if we fall, it is because there is something down there we are supposed to find. Nothing is an accident.
Beautiful realisation here.

I was just thinking about the word emergencies and the word emerge
And then I read this work and it helped with the clarity of that
It takes great skill to make writing seem this effortless

We all question the God factor
I can't believe what I can't see, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place
Some say God is the spirit inside all of us, I don't know
Like the questioning aspect

I can't comment on the god aspect, but you know I've always found light in your writes. The shadows you've walked in, the darkness you've shed...you've shone in all of them. Much love, beautiful Angel

Heartfelt examination of personal evolution. I dig it. None of us has the answers. Those who claim to have them, I'm convinced, have stopped questioning out of exhaustion, laziness, or self-inflicted blindness.

One of those moments when we answer a question with another question.
I think this might be one of the most thought provoking things I've read in a very long time.
You really do have a gift, and even in your darkness it was clearly seen.
I have to thank you for sharing this, talented one...

Beautiful write describing the journey and evolution of the path you are on.
Love the name too. Dandelion.
People often look at dandelions as weeds. But not how God sees them. To Him, they are still a flower. One of His beautiful creations.
Just like you.
Very much enjoyed this.

That last stanza... that question... how many times I asked myself the same question (though for me it's not God)
Such a profound write, dear Crim!
Love, Duende
