The Pernicious Effects of Time

the important thing is for you to dance
with the invisible
the feeling
the air
it speaks to you
knocks at your window
at night
while  your talent burns
with a fever to be exposed
and faith seems like ribbon
take off the handcuffs
and  go sail  the clouded sky
your royal bedroom allows you to drift alone
get into yourself
go straight to the center
where everything happens
your ideas stretch over piano keys as Ravel fits on top of every word
 fly your plane with nowhere to land
remember to forget
get generous
share your illuminations and designs
color the bored people
dream where it feels lucid
let your story be the dirt from which you dig
use the anxiety to test yourself
so this loud voice can irritate the silence
don't be so eager to stay difficult
boredom is expensive
introduce change
the stranger within you wants to be known
you are young and this strange experience sits between you and thought
continue to work
even if it is an obstacle
you are one of those
