subject matter

i am empty

i am open

i am waiting.

in this place

of impatience

trying hard

to be patient.

i am vessel

i am basket

i am bowl.

air spins round

inside me

cyclone of promise

taking up space

present

but not quite

there.

i am empty

i am open

i am waiting.

    poetic photo. picturesque words. just lovely, kelly.

  • Jo Says:

    On first seeing the photo my immediate reaction was that it was of a mother-of-pearl shell – twirling and circling but completely empty. But then I realise that it is actually a bowl waiting to be filled… whatever, it seems to ‘fit’ your gentle words so perfectly. Just adore the poem – it embraces so much of what I’m thinking and feeling right now, giving them more clarity. There seems to be a simple serenity and freedom in being empty but expectantly open too… to rest in this rather than being impatient to be ‘filled’ all the time.

    thank you.
    Hugs xxx
