Obscured Characters

I had to do it for myself

This is love, she thought, isn't it? When you notice someone's absence and hate that absence more than anything? More, even, than you love his presence?

It’s very still this morning, as if the trees are suspended in an acrylic atmosphere

Their limbs and leaves barely move, being delicately played by nature as to not wake those asleep

The creatures are quiet, with the morning overcast giving them comfort and coziness to sleep in

With the air being so still, the smell of artificial surfaces drying out from overnight showers lingers in the air

The creaminess of milk subtlety blends together with the coffee to create a smooth journey through my body, gently passing through with a softness like silk

The temperament of the atmosphere and the environment feels very gentle, an almost lukewarm experience offset from the rapid fluctuations of breath from my nostrils contacting my skin

The colors of the trimmed tree branches display an earthy gradient fading from a dark green to black, unevenly dancing between the two

Perhaps the plants are satiated from the previous days rainfall, so full they could barely move before falling asleep so they can digest and process nutrients

As the birds and other creatures start to awaken, their presence and existence and playfulness and curiosity reflect back on my own parts containing the same energy, like an old friend knocking on the door to see if they are home

While at the start of today I do not feel 100% comfortable, I do know the parts that do will provide compassion and assistance to the others to have a fulfilling existence

Secure

Heavy on my chest is the emotion with pleasure of thinking of you
Clothespins connected with strings contextualize my emotions to my memories
Heart skips beats with the unexpected rhythm of a snare drum three rows back from a stage
Your presence of being engulfs and encapsulates me within the sweet wind of your soul
The presence of your love brings waves of comfort and insecurity crashing into me from both sides
In this ocean... in one moment I can float weightlessly, and unexpectedly sink endlessly
The thought that you would never hurt me dissects my chronograph wide open to fall apart throughout my time
In this era I share a planet with you, I vow to let my vascular existence leave it's trails as we walk
The connection between my fingertips through to their terminus... dissipate and flow to changed connections
The signals and sensations whisper descriptions and settings of a time.. place.. existence... that are in a shifted spectrum
Here in this disconnected space, away from my lifetime, the thunder grows louder, the humid air blows across my neck
A warmth radiates across my face from the energy of your accretion disks so caring... as your sunrise of security grows across the horizon

Introverted Communication - 8.9

Early in the morning, nocturnal insects still buzz by lights that once gave them comfort during their waking moments.

The sun slowly edges up over the horizon obscured by trees spattered with moss and multi family houses with vitiligo paint patterns.

Creatures hoot and holler at one another through the concrete jungle pathways to ask questions like who has sugar I can borrow for tea?

Air conditioners so conditioned to running all the time hum and dance in window frames working overtime with the outside being cooler than inside.

Tree leaves shining and sparkling, radiating their natural beauty through light breezes reflecting glimmers of light like sequins on a dress.

An thick meandering odor slowly makes its way across the land, thick with the sweet and refreshing smell of morning dew.

The soothing taste of a bitter and creamy bean illuminates my taste buds and highlights my lack of smell.

A gentle breeze caresses my body with the gentle touch of a new love, giving me comfort and confidence of a dear friends embrace.

The temperature relaxes and awakens me between the childlike winds playful interruptions smiling at me “The sun is coming!”

Different parts and systems in my body swirl in different directions for their different jobs, making a todo list for my spirit to explore.

My mind is at peace as the size of this emotional moment swells in my heart, blessed to carry these feelings through on my journey.
