FULL POEM:

Cabin Fever

by JOSHUA J. ROSSY

In the suns distant rising rays

Stands still the creation of our hallowed place

Here

Radiant walls still sing stories

Of reflected shimmers from your faraway face

Wow

Their vibrant lyrics mirror the whispers of your name

How long will they wait

For what we’ve created

Still has days and days

And days

Towards the thought of light

It’s my turn to lead the way

In between reflections

Where minds escape

With covered eyes

Thoughts drop like echoes

Of an alternative place

Your words are blind

But uncover the trapped sun

My actions now

Are flowing waters

Enduring and overrun

Leaving now the night awaits

Falling into placed pieces ahead of my hesitant gaze

Closed fists and widen breast

The current is here

And we try to feel time

Before pale beginnings

Without knowing we’ve been there

Only to witness the heavens splitting

Are we drowning in my unwilling patient grip

Because I am expected to show up

In moments

In moments like this

Are we drowning?
