My idle mind is a playground, warping the edges of reality
A slow dreaming that embraces me
And at the center of my darkness, I smile
Because there is a blue that sparkles
in between the absence of my mind and the presence of my spirit
And here, I birth the fertile stillness before chaos, before creation
smallcrowdd continues to inspire me to push the limits of my mind. I wrote this piece to honor the phase of life I’m in right now. At this juncture, I feel as though I’m sitting in the stillness before creation—the calm before the storm, the listening before the chaos.
In this moment, I’m learning to feel more whole and more present with each breath, with each passing day. I’ve come to appreciate the quiet depth of the blues, and I’m learning to let that darkness be a proud part of who I am. To truly love my darkness, my blues, I know that to be idle is equally as powerful as action.
