There are bits of me hidden from myself.
I’m sure you’ve noticed them too;
but you don’t mind it.
And now your mystery is woven into mine.
I like that very much.
Do you mind the strangeness?
Odd… shouldn’t I be bothered by this?
And even more oddly, I don’t think I care,
about those things we can’t see yet.
And all that is regular, reasonable,
rational,
fades into nothing
against Love’s chaos.
Beautiful response to the prompt...
ReplyDeleteThanks Berowne! It was a wonderful image to get to respond to. I've like MC Escher's work for awhile.
DeleteI never mind the strangeness. I rather prefer it.
ReplyDeleteLove this.
Aw, thanks! It means a lot to me that you enjoyed it so much!
DeleteWonderful! Yes, I love strangeness! I have to, I am very odd!
ReplyDeleteLOL, feels a bit like Wonderland...we're all mad/ odd here!
DeleteI love this conversation between a person and her soul... There is so much we tend to not want to share of ourselves, just to find that perfect person who doesn't mind it at all... Then we are both happy.
ReplyDeleteExactly! That sharing is scary and it feels crazy to even try, until you that one that gets it.
ReplyDeleteTrue and well written.
