This has been a long time coming,
this deluge, this sea of words—
I was silent for so long, you see,
silent and absent and not feeling
overmuch of anything
til you
this storm has been brewing for years
while I was alone and unloved
and now all has changed
now I am alive and vibrant
and I am home again in this brain cave
I have come home again to the Land of the Word
and it is you who led me here
~Melanie Blackwell
I lived in a brain cave for a while, but then I added an extension and the back of my head collapsed.
Your comments always leave me smiling or shaking my head…:)
Good to see you in your brain cave…It is truly your happy place!
“home again in this brain cave” is just great
🙂 and “gee but ain’t it great to be back home..”
Stunning work Melanie, powerful words!
Thank you 🙂
