Instead

Instead

A Poem by Ty
"

Instead.

"
Wanting to be uncovered and free
The wick fizzles, it's weak
Digging coal miners deep
To sift and find yourself
With this ahead amidst a bridge
Instead again a breath of air,
Tip of time, mint and lime,
If wine bottles could pour for days
Another page, each chapter, never bored
It stays, it lingers.
Your Eagle desires, came short in Pigeons,
It's tiring, it drains,
Maybe you're somebody else,
Tucked and drowned in the distance
Allow what's said, this message, immerse,
Maybe steer your direction,
Facing your fears and reflections,
Every word a room of many mirrors,
A pier in the Heavens,
Walking among islands and plateaus
You can smell the rain and dirt in this photo
Yet, sometimes I still I don't understand
Maybe we're somebody else
Esteem missing self
Attraction from menace, stagnant feelings leaving
Climbing ladders and cliffs to reach the ceiling
Zhang's sandstone pillars,
Pressure and perseverance
Tough,
Hawaiian Female Firefighters,
How tough is your skin?
Wanting to be uncovered and free
Roaring thundering sea, yet peace underneath
Maybe you're somebody else,
But these walls will tear down
A breath of air,
Halt your sifting through dirt on the ground
Emerge an Eagle over church steeples, Naples yellow sun rays and waves.
