I wrote a poem about having (for most of my life) a dysregulated nervous system. I used a chess game inside of your soul as a metaphor for it. Enjoy, and thank you for reading!

"...you can get away with more than you think
when everyone is busy building something
they’ve all convinced themselves is beautiful..."

Station
Open these locked doors,
and let far horizons sing
before our day dies.

Unlocked
Freedom is not found
in vague slogans, in vain wealth
or distant travel;
tonight, it was in strong winds,
that brought a chill from clear skies.

Refresh
Let the rain come down,
bringing the blessing of tears
to the land's dry heart.

Standing
Look up to the hills,
and the rocks from which my heart
was carved, long ago;
do you think I would find home
where ancient stones do not sing?

reeds swaying gently
in the autumn breeze
a goldfinch's swing

Lights
Aurora, hidden
by a cloak of cloud, deigns not
to reveal her light.

Cloaked
I've waited so long
in shadows, that I've become
a lost wanderer;
the only path left open
leads further into the night.
