Memory is large
harboring an ancient forest
of timeless trees
an ocean of vast waves
Generosity is smart
as a wizened, old owl
Fear is as prescient
like foreboding dream
clear and focused
and rather like
a collie mining sheep
on the border of
a grove dominated by wolves
Honesty is plain truth
spilled forward from a cup
filled with simple innocence
Conscience cannot lie
instead it reaches over
with its clever grip
and cackles the truth…
Love how you’ve personified these different aspects of our personalities.
People are complex…for sure. Thanks Marissa. ..have a super week!
Well done. I love the rhythm as well as the words. 🙂
Thanks so much. I’ve recently been doing some writing exercises to work on descriptions…I’m really just more of a story teller….
