Hi Brian,
Congratulations for winning 3rd Place in [Link To Item #shadows] with your fantastic poem, [Link to Book Entry #1003963].
Rachel](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-Shadows_and_Light-1936078_14.gif) the burdensome place how a stone survives beneath rock -- heavy obstacles don't crush, but pin me down, locked in beneath the true surface. even though I'm above ground, I feel nothing in the black piling -- my words encased, so small, with the little visitors I could love who crawl and rest atop my hardened surface. their entrails atop my soul mark my essence -- within a dead place, and beauty, until someone lifts the cumbersome weight to find me and toss me to the ocean of dreams, a place I have been. if one would take time to note, I've been there before -- don't toss me. hold me. feel my smooth surface. soothe your own soul with me. 27 lines freeverse 2.8.21 edited 3.4.21  about not acknowledging experience as true beauty and burdening us to lay in the mud until some unforseen cirmcumstance can free us once more...obvious that the piling is designed to keep us in our place. |
