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.
