Tunnels

by Ann Mills

In the tunnels of my mind
Lies waiting


Empty gray
dark & dank
to black


Thoughts nothing
Echo thru my mental maze
of tunnels
Shadow moving
Whispers lurking
Burning my brain
What can it mean?


I can sense pain

So here I stop.


Trapped in a maze with nowhere to go
but around
swirling down
to the ground
like a child
going wild
At the community playground.

Your most impressionistic poem, wrought from a Spirit in the midst darkness.... yet... creating a space for light in that moment of stuckness in the maze. The light is the poem and you made it.
