A Thousand Words


Painted destinies,

A Rorschach test

Of emotions that zigzag precipitously,

Veering uncontrollably,

All different interpretations

Of dreams,

Imprinted on the soul,

Inkblots that look like moths and butterflies,

Telling us about who we are in what we see,

A haven, where we house

Our deepest truths and insecurities.


Our feet take us on different trails,

But somewhere, the complexities of the mind

Diverge and in the sketchings of the psyche on the page,

Our stories can connect.

Thousands of paper cranes,

Pictures saying a thousand words,

Sent off into a ceaseless galaxy,

The intricacy of fated stars.
