SEARCHING TO BE SMOOTH

deuxiemepeau07/03/201806/03/2018PoetryCharacter, Corners, Curt, Form, Identity, smooth, Stream, water

See
the simple stream;
current crashing
into character

See
the mouths of babes;
wishes whispering
of their will in waiting

Rough
runs the water
falling to find its force

Smooth
as our skins
we are not

We are curt corners created,

counting on the current
to carve us into caress-able.

All words and sketches by Damien B. Donnelly

We are carved by time and experiences, aren’t we? Sometimes smoothed though.

  I think so though a few smooth edges are always welcomed, age always helps!!

    Yeah–though my edges are getting much too round. 😉
