Understood

Do you long to be understood
to have it all out in the open
to be bare
and cold
and naked
fragile?
Or are you a night spider
only appearing
in the warmth of the summer
when it is safer
and surer
and you can see a way to escape
if you need to
or want to.
I'm caught here
in between
creating
and believing
and turning my inside out
but a warm blanket is covering me
stopping me from breathing and working.
The challenge is the redemption
the process the journey
inspiration the mystery
silence the answer

Love and respect to the musical and
spiritual brothers and sisters and families
who read this stuff
and don't get it
but love me anyway.
