Visions For The Obtrusive


By Lina



I envision the structure 
Small. 
Enough for one 
Dried flowers hang next to the window 
That frames the prefect view of a setting sun 
And the wind blows so gently 
Softly sweetening the air 
The home smells of lavender 
naturally, I am comfortable there

Often I feel an ache when I first wander in 
To this space known only in my thoughts 
This peaceful setting I’ve had to conjured up 
For comfort during the all too often awkward spots

Nearby rests my motorcycle 
Her parts running perfectly as they should 
Awaiting our next adventure 
Or the chore of fetching wood

Back in reality I feel aimless 
Always searching for the place 
where I am not obtrusive or void 
When I am harmonious with time and space

Wonder if it’s just a mindset 
Perspective causing such a spin 
What starts with a twirl suddenly smashes up inside me 
Can a wolf find comfort in lambs skin
