Here’s my response to Brian Vos’s Weekly Poetry Prompt. This week, the theme is ‘insecurity’. Here’s the link to the full blog post: https://brianvos.com/2022/07/15/insecurity-your-weekly-poetry-prompt/
As per usual, I’m taking the prompt round the corner and for a wee walk. Here goes:
In security In security lies calm. In security lies peace. In security lies the illusion of sleep. In security lies perfect stillness. In security lies a rest you don’t need. Breathe, breathe, wish away, want more. In security lies the kindling of insecurity. Each breath, a spark, your soul’s longing for fire.
I like how this sets up insecurity as the spark of a fiery life.
