There are days…

Looking out at the horizon

drawn to

sky

Soft pillows

white clouds….

Transporting to

highway

giving way to

shaded

peripheral

trees

brushing past…

The smell of mossy dirt, not quite pine,

some part running

water…

conjured through

Closed

Windows.

An arch enclosing…

blurring

deep e m e r a l d into

Rooted

multi dimensional

browns

a dash… of the crisp inside

Of a

walnut... cream

lights

us

in a womb - traveling to…

a delicate place…

the

winding roads

wondering about

this… intensity

of

f e e l in g s

the N e c e s s i t y

To

share them

As if it will bring me closer to the truth…

As If the release will bring peace…

As if

As if

the magic lies

in painting

words for you.

About the Creator

Michele Nampalli

This space is breath for my sensitivity. The poems come fully formed. I've known for quite some time now that my art is about receiving more than creation...its the most natural way I know to process my inner world. It started when I was 7.

    This description of nature's sights and smells is spot-on. It makes me recall similar drives, where the world outside felt like a vivid, ever-changing painting.
