your softness becomes you by Frank Andrick

the softest part
blessing in disguise
recognized
landscape, mindscape, dreamscape
symbols and stories
for those who know and live
more than six senses

softness of water
shaping the stone
fever of fire phenomena in motion
takes to light and voice in the eyes
where light turns to melody
a sound that can radiate storms

beauty blossoms
in tiny explosions
a balm to my brain
this mind of mine
swarming w/ sigils and symbols
and snakes on a cross
beauty is born and reborn
moment by moment in fire and water

your softness slips from you
a numescent vapour seeping
over a wild terrain
it captures my imagination
a dream evoked by a dream
enveloped in atmospheres
a state of softness the state of softness
your softness becomes you
you are what you are
your softness becomes you
you are what you are
