Written Rush

Written in a rush

unable to speak slowly

the making of it all has been undone

a heart speak unheard though the voice was calm

rivers running thoughts to the waterfall that doesn’t wash for her

let there be a shadow proclaimed that always hid under the bushel of light

no tears in the cup for it fell over when the dog kicked the cat who kicked the truth

About Arcadia Tempest

Feelings and words fall on to the page
Sometimes they bite back
Sometimes they tug on our sleeve
Sometimes they have a cheeky grin
They stay once a page has found them
Words are faithful to us even in the dark
