I was waiting alone at the edge of my colorless canvas.
You were the artist I needed to meet.
I could see your mark against the screen.
A gorgeous array of personality left by your warmth.
Your fingers are in a flight of life, leaving prints all about.
Creating nothing but the inspiration in your eyes.
Before you left to dance upon the skyline of the beach.
Always at your side, grazing anyplace they might adventure.
You still have a chance to bring me flowers.
While your hands are alive to heal my scars.
You went away for a while, but I hope for your return.
For sometimes it is too long, and I do not recognize the constellation.
Your fingerprints have not been traveling the mysterious skies.
You never seem to be awake lately, even when the stars are away.
Always lost int that realm where you are drowning in a desert.
You are not awake enough to dance with the freedom of yourself.
For now, it seems that you have flightless fingerprints.

Lovely writing.
“You still have a chance to bring me flowers.
While your hands are alive to heal my scars.”
I love these lines but the poem is lovely in its entirety. Have an amazing weekend. Love Joni 🤗❤️

SMiLes Jade 8 Years Ago And A Few Days in a First True
Step Back in Stream of Consciousness Flow Yet
To Feel Still All The Colors
That Come In Shells
Where Words
Become Magic
Touch of Soul
Escaping A Trip
To All Pain and Numb
For 66 Months i had one
Facebook FRiEnD Brave
Enough to FRiEnD the Man
With Only A Cat Avatar as A Face…
The Place i could Still Feel A Hint of Warm
in A Cat’s Purr Close to Soul as i Will BREaTHE Free then…
Just a Private Message to that one FRiEnD who Recommended
i make it a Blog Post my First one True it helps to have Bystanders to Push us up..
i Wrote About the Beach
of My Youth Being
One With Nature
The Wild and Free
Spirit of the Feral Cat
From the Woods Taken in
With Disease Trapped inside
Forever then and the Domesticated
One Who Never Felt His Call of Wild in Smell…
i Found what i was Missing What Was Taken From me
in 19 Years of School With 33 Years of Paid Work too…
Jack London’s ‘Call of the Wild’ Why Did that Book Bring
Tears to my Eyes as a Child i wasn’t A Dog i Was Human
i ‘Thought’ i Was Not Even A Cat Yet i still had haha
A Lot More Fur than most of my Human Friends
Hehe before Fur Became Unwanted and
Only too Wild that Must Be
Domesticated
And Removed…
Anyway the Connection
of Humans Same With Nature
Whether it Be Walking the Beach
With Only my Foot Prints of God or
Serving A Drunken Crowd of Sailors
At A Menial Job Passing out Rental Shoes
At A Military Bowling Center after Earning Three Degrees
Moving, Connecting, And Co-Creating Eventually i Became A Human
Sadly Computer Machine Instead of Flesh and Blood Touch and After
i Fell Down as a Machine so Cold From Head to Toe So Cold even
in a Summer Breeze of a Hundred Degrees i traveled Back to the Beach
Carrying A Comet Tail of What Followed Behind as All My Cultural Tools as Clothes
True in all my Pain and Numb i Just Wanted to Drown in the Ocean Whole if that is
What it took
To Feel the
Nature
that
Is Nature
Free Moving
Connecting Co-Creating
my Soul and Yes it took
66 Months When the Blood
Finally Stopped and i started to Breathe Again…
Value of Poetry Being Able to Go Back to the Dark
to Appreciate Night Brings Day So Many Avenues
So Many Tools Now Culture Does Provide if We Master
Them All As Servant instead of Slave We CoMe to BReaTHE Not Bleed..:)
