I am...
I am...
laughter in the air
a child at the beach
a girl at the bar
a boy with a cigarette
a man with his dreams
a woman with her desires
I am...
existing in this world
a reflection in the mirror
a shadow on the wall
a midnight gasp of horror
a little girl's doll
a bereaved wife's sorrow
a husband's last regret
I am mere words
without which I am
nothing
but a huddled figure in a padded room
catching imagined swirling letters
circling my head.

The imagery within these words were vivid and each scenario mentioned flowed into my mind. Very well written and a delightful read.

I just read this in Luna Child's Competition...
I had already noticed you since I arrived just a week , ( or less ) ago ;
Very well done , Grace...I felt you , and loved your phrasing...
You have obviously been around the wheel a few times...( if not more )
I heard / saw / felt your words , and absolutely loved especially this :
a midnight gasp of horror
a little girl's doll
a bereaved wife's sorrow
a husband's last regret
I laughed with acknowledgement and understanding ;
Thank you for bringing it to my attention through the competition...
Have you published yet / by now ?
You truly deserve it !
Best...Blackwolf

Thank you for reading and commenting Blackwolf. I co-authored a book with another person once. Its in Amazon. Other than that, no. Not published. Yes, indeed, I am all those through words that are sewn together to create an identity. a midnight gasp of horror, a little girl's doll, a bereaved wife's sorrow, a husband's last regret... through woven words these can be expressed...right? Thank you for dropping by.
