It takes a while to recognize the patterns, but once we do – we grow. And nobody moves at another’s pace. Thank you, Curt

April 9th — The Breakthrough of Impossible Realities
April 9th does not arrive.
It erupts.It tears a seam in the morning,
a thin, shimmering wound
through which light leaks sideways,

There’s a sense of almost but not quite saying. A dance around the edges of something. Damian is right. There is a longing ringing through this one.

I like both yours and Damian’s observations. I was playing with words with a longing vibe that day. I am glad you both can see that. Thank you for reading.

Hey Brandon!
There is longing but also a smidge of courage.
Letting someone watch you in real time falling is no joke.
Being vulnerable when it comes to longing isn’t easy.
Takes courage to put yourself out there.
I also enjoyed all the rhyming too.
It’s got meter and rhythm. Very nicely done!-

Lots of darkness in this. It seems like an expression of an unhappiness that can’t even be found in dreams or fantasies leading to an ultimate end. Life is always a series of hills and valleys.

Exactly Willow. Learning from one’s experiences is not SSDD, it’s growth. And this growth is internal and personal, doesn’t matter what others may think. But if someone is paying attention, this growth becomes obvious and welcomed. -Curt
