Jump to the poem of your choice.
to all those who search the inner depths
Darkness had surrounded me
With its bitter taste of pain
My thoughts had turned to doubt
Suffering remained
Fear was lingering behind me
A shadow of despair
Does any one care?
Awakening I see ahead of myself
What could be...
What I might find
Then somewhere, from nowhere
I hear a gentle voice
A wisper in my mind
Its me you're looking for
Here within
This is where I've always been.
Wendy Seymour 1994
REFLECTIONS
In a distant gaze
Flowing tears
Create the streams below
Molding my reflection
Mirrored image of thoughts
Reflect trace memories
Ripples of history
Imprints on my forehead
Maintain their position
Tunnels of graphics
Duplicate my eyes
Within hardcover lids
Sounds are silenced
Wax filled ears
Clinch the shutters
Words not spoken
Stitches around my lips
Puckering the pain
Trails of smoke
Exit my nose
Clouding the scent
Liquid evaporates
Appearances fade
Everything disappears
Wendy Seymour 2003
