Cherice's Pieces

Bombarded by a steady stream of data, demands, and decisions, she felt fragmented—uncertain of herself and even less certain of her place in the current universe. She wished that a pause button would induce a state of suspended animation, creating a conceptual place outside the fabric of space-time where she could recompose herself. In that space she would collect and consider pieces of herself. She would sift, sort, synthesize, reshape, and revise her thoughts, her life, and herself there.

Ode to a Savvy Sage

With a sudden gust of whimsy
She flings poetic paint
Against a mental canvas taut with expectation--
Prefigured for something other

SPLASH!

Flat expectations behind glazed eyes
Suddenly whirl
Through unanticipated universes of color
Transcending preconceived possibilities
Profoundly framing new dimensions.
