Chatterbox: Inkwell

ERIN

Chapters 1-5

begin

 

light

it is all around me

swirling 

drifting

surrounding

it is

all I see

all I feel

all I know

how long have I been here?

how long

will I be here?

 

I wait

the waiting is longer than anything

I know 

and then 

something.

 

 

color

 

what is this

new thing?

 

beautiful

it fills me with energy

and yet

it is so

soft

 

I want 

to touch it

to hold it tightly

in my hand

where it will never

ever

leave

 

what is this

new thing?

it is

color.

 

 

something

 

the light

and color

have distracted me

I did not notice

there is something 

waiting

 

waiting

for what?

I wonder

if the something

is waiting

for me. 

 

 

questions

 

I have

so many questions

they ache

and long

and cry

for answers

 

I tell myself

No more questions

but every day

there are more

and more

and more 

 

where are the answers?

are they hiding

tucked away

out of reach?

 

are they drifting

in the air

waiting for me to find them?

 

or are they right here

and I just

can't see them?

 

 

something ii

 

the something

is still waiting

I watch it

 

it looks like me

but not like me

 

it is not color

or light

but it is filled with those things 

 

another question

comes

 

How is something

the same

but different

all at once?

 

maybe

it is like how color

had energy

and gentleness

at the same time

 

maybe

it is like how I push away the questions

but I am drawn to them

even though my mind says no

 

maybe

just maybe

 

I will find the answer.

 

 

 

I hope you liked my writing! Look out for more chapters soon.
