Blackout Poetry Notes

Light In The World

Go be a light in
the world,
with a certain
right sort of heart.

I am coming to life
in the lovely universe.
Believe me,
a slow, spiritual,
extraordinary change
is going to show in me.

He simply adored me,
I loved a man
who wanted me.

It was a lovely day,
the sun
a yellow glitter of early summer
and the lush, green sea,
rising
and unfolding everywhere.

The morbid silence
was alive
between their words.

Cincinnati
and rural Indiana,
I was free to become anyone
so I started
writing,
my imagination
busy emerging out.

Live
a life of
hopeless romanticism.

As far as I could see,
my life is
a waiting game,
the wheels of anxiety
focus all my attention
on the past.

Change your life,
you are a 
survivor.

Look to be
grateful for
each morning sunrise
and appreciate
being alive.
