These Words Are Colors

Free-Verse Poetry

These words are colors
And strokes
And textures
Placed upon
A canvas of time
Of expectations
Shared
As well as private
A tapestry
Held together tightly
By our common thoughts
And dreams

I often wonder
What you think of me
Whether you see me
As I might see myself
Or as I could never imagine

I am thinking of you
Now
And always
As I try
To form a vision
That we can share
If only in this moment
A memory
Created
And perceived
Collectively
Across time

    1. Yes, it is a challenging thought, especially given that, at least in my own experience, we have such unclear and often dynamic perceptions of ourselves. I feel that each different way in which we are perceived is valid in it’s own way, shaping us just the same as they describe what is already there.
