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.

Starting my day off here with MrsM is better than a cup of coffee; I read these words and my mind, my spirit is instantly awake.

I am here.
Love this photo. And your words.

I feel like you’re writing about me. Empty. Open. Air swirling inside me.
Love it.

poetic photo. picturesque words. just lovely, kelly.

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.
