Untethered Me

ByRick Ellsmore

Laying quietly

The yoga mat

Hugging my body

Melding into

The earth

Beneath my skin

Breathing at

A minimum

Fully in

The moment

This moment

The serenity

Of this

Sacred place

The voice

Of one

Lovely and skilled

An image

Little Ricky

Slowly moving in

No longer

A fog

Bringing pain

With it

Welcoming him

Embracing him

Allowing his presence

To envelope me

His laugh

To freely ring

Echoing within

I’m him

Running as

Little Ricky

Breaking free

From a

Mother’s clutch

Strong and cold

Touching the

Alaskan dirt

Rubbing it’s

Grittiness onto

Glowing skin

Laughing eyes

Dancing within

A vibrant blue sky

I am

I am Rick

I am Rick Love

I am Rick Love Ellsmore

I am Rick, Ricky, Love Ellsmore

I am bold

I am free

I am

What I’ve always

Dreamed of being

Untethered

ME

Free to live

Free to roam

Free to fly

Rick Love Ellsmore

    F E A R Dominating in its presence A ghost in the night Grinning incessantly Void of distinction Heavy in person-hood Making aware danger and hazard Shouting in my brain Thieving joy Weighed down while weakness sprouts Suffocating anxiety Controlling every move A pulsating vile coward Living with belief Avoidance would work                                    The grind-thru-it…

    ByRick Ellsmore

    The Blindness I’ve lived a life as a blind man Blinded by sadness, pain, and sorrow Blinded by the religion forced down my throat Blinded by the choices made to numb, avoid, and ignore the roar The Darkness The darkness slowly eating my soul The darkness slowly sucking the life The darkness constantly raping my…

    ByRick Ellsmore

    A Sunflower she is Blown in the wind Born into unforgiving soil Forced to grow With little water Surviving on The extremes  Overexposure to The sun and moon Underexposed of their light Somehow, she grew Strengthening with each breath Moving forward While protecting A fragile heart Kindness being her Guiding light The North Star Within…
