28. still not dark

.

i kinda like it when the trees are bare don't you? i feel there's more room for our prayers and truth it's harder to tell right from wrong when the light doesn't get through and with all that spring green, that opaque ceiling the sky is blocked out and i can't breathe no more and time forces its way out of fragile boughs danger and sap crawl through my veins and bones too thick and too sweet — suffocating it might be the end of winter but it still tastes like an ending still solidifies into nothing the seasons change and look at that outside my window it's still not dark still not down, still not faltering the sun keeps up with our meanderings i don't remember the birds chirping so loud i must've been asleep last time i must've been asleep last time. • through-the-motions (poem + photo) • for @writerscreed​ 's prompt "outside my window" •

Outside My Window

I used to think

everything was different

outside my window

grass was greener

life was freer

where the world rushed by

and I

frozen

strapped into the backseat of the car.

But when I

finally explored the world

pressed pause on the blur that

rushed past me,

I could finally see

it’s not all green

underneath every bright blade of grass

is brown earth that didn’t ask

to be uncovered.

Animals raised in captivity

acclimate with difficulty

to their true environment.

But I will acclimate

I will take the dirt under the flowers

I’ll learn to live here

in the strange, wild world I found

outside my window.

[qurasha-rajkumar]

Outside my window...

Fear lies dormant

waiting

to engulf anyone

who dares wake her with

their sensationalism

or hysteria.

I’m feeling a bit under the weather today. Allergies? My hubbies cold? I dunno 🤔 but, I still managed to get a rough start on these during Aylas nap today. The owls are back. The windows have been opened at night this week, and I’ve been hearing them singing at night. So glad I can still hear them! My neighbor cut down a big tree that was right outside my window, so I wasn’t sure I’d hear them anymore 🦉 . . . . #owls #owljewelry #jewelry #naturejewelry #urbannature #outsidemywindow #theowlsarenotwhattheyseem #comingsoon #wip #onmybench #bronze #silverowls #owl #totem #talisman
